No obligation to the public, opioid distributor tells lawyer

FILE - This April 30, 2007, file photo, shows the headquarters of Cardinal Health in Dublin, Ohio. An executive at Cardinal Health, one of the nation’s largest drug distribution companies, said in a legal proceeding that the business has no obligation to the public when it comes to shipping prescription opioid painkillers. That’s one of the disclosures in thousands of pages of court documents made public July 23, 2019, in lawsuits over the opioid crisis.

That’s one of the exchanges included in thousands of pages of court documents, including depositions and internal emails, made public this week in lawsuits brought against the pharmaceutical industry over the nation’s deadly opioid crisis. The deposition was held in connection with lawsuits brought by Ohio’s Cuyahoga and Summit counties against a group of drugmakers and distributors over the toll exacted by opioids. The case is scheduled for trial in October.

Glad I saw this. I just received a solicitation mail from them for my business. That goes in the circular file.

cool cool cool... 'free markets regulate themselves' right?

Now that’s what I call “health care!”

Then, this company must be shut down as a public health concern

This is a microcosm of why capitalism is not a good practice to allow to exist unrestrained.

Profits over people. It's the American way. America is a stupid country.

unchecked capitalism kills
