VIDEO – GREED KILLS –
Jan. 23, 2025 – Walgreens’ senior managers ignored staff concerns and urged them to keep working with “pill mill” doctors over-prescribing opioid drugs, emails uncovered by the Justice Department and included in a lawsuit against the pharmacy chain allegedly show. The DOJ has obtained emails and internal documents from Walgreens allegedly showing that since August 10, 2012, Walgreens “filled millions of invalid controlled-substance prescriptions in violation of federal law.”
In one December, 2013 email, the director of Walgreens’ pharmacy compliance department explained that Walgreens’ pharmacy chief was “convinced” that Walgreens pharmacists “are over the top with GFD”— Walgreens’ Good Faith Dispensing Policy—and that Walgreens’ drug sales were being hurt as a result.
