Drug companies that purposefully flooded the market with opioids should be held accountable for their role in the epidemic that has caused immeasurable pain and loss across our country and our state. Today, for the first time, a trial court did just that.https://nyti.ms/2ZhIPld
In every part of our district, families and advocates have shared with me just how devastating opioids have been in our communities — and many of those communities are currently pursuing legal action against opioid manufacturers in response.
In the meantime, it’s time for Congress to get to work on real solutions that can deliver care and relief to those struggling with addiction and in recovery — and I stand ready to work with anyone to get it done.
Are you satisfied with the judgment? $572 million seems too little unless courts in other states do the same. Also, when do we start holding executives criminally liable rather than fining multi-billion dollar corporations? Otherwise it's the banking fiasco all over again.
If that same fine was issued by every state; I somehow still doubt that $25+ billion would be more than what they profited in the last 20 years from opioids. The original fine they were going for was $17 billion. Their stock went up today, seems like $572 million is a loss.
