"Legal Action Against Johnson & Johnson Over Alleged Overpayment for Employee Drug Benefits"
Johnson & Johnson is being sued by one of its own employees for allegedly overpaying its pharmacy benefit manager for prescription drugs, leading to higher health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs for workers. The lawsuit claims that the overpayments ultimately affect workers' paychecks and wage growth, citing an example where J&J allegedly paid over $10,000 for a prescription that could be purchased elsewhere for as little as $30. This raises questions about employer liability for overpaying for drugs.
