McKesson said Tuesday that it and other pharmaceutical companies could have to
pay up to $21 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits related to the opioid
crisis. In a new quarterly report, McKesson said that it would pay about $8
billion of the $21 billion total settlement over the next 18 years. This marks
an increase from the $6.68 billion McKesson was initially set to pay when the
settlement framework was first proposed last year.
