The pharma industry is still in a bit of a tizzy about the lawsuits alleging improprieties in pricing, with some saying there will be wholesale changes (pun intended) while others ho-hum the notion. But, as more information comes out regarding the McKesson – First DataBank suits, there appears to be more to the notion that changes are in the wind.
This is not just an item of passing interest; the plaintiffs in the suit alleged that these pricing practices have cost payers upwards of $6 billion over a three-year period.
