Where are you getting all this money from to pay? Corrupt company to its core. And accepts no Liability? Then why settle...because you know you are as guilty as you know what.
Walgreens
has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a proposed class action lawsuit accusing it of fraudulently overcharging customers for a decade when they bought generic dr-gs through private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.
Walgreens was accused of wrongly requiring insured customers to pay more than members of its Prescription Savings Club, who for a low annual fee could buy more than 500 widely prescribed generic dr-gs for $5, $10 and $15 for 30-day prescriptions, and $10, $20 and $30 for 90-day prescriptions without using insurance.
In a filing on Friday in federal court in Chicago, lawyers for the class of plaintiffs suing the dr-gstore chain sought approval for the settlement, calling it an “excellent result” for the class.
“We admit no liability and believe these claims never had any merit,” a Walgreens spokesperson said in a statement. “This resolution allows us to focus on our turnaround strategy that will benefit our patients, customers, team members and shareholders.”
