Express Scripts sues the FTC for defamation

Ferris Bueller said, “life moves pretty fast.”

Nine days ago: Express Scripts by Evernorth filed a suit against the Federal Trade Commission for defamation because the FTC said Express Scripts raises the price of drugs.

Seven days ago: the FTC filed suit against CVS Health, Express Scripts, and Optum for artificially inflating insulin prices.

Two days ago: the CEO of Novo Nordisk, Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen weighed in in a U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions hearing, saying:

"The higher the list price, the more fees they (PBMs) get for the same job. That means that, in our experience, products that come with a low list price get less coverage."

This is a lot - A. LOT. - of activity for ten days. Is this the tipping point? Or will this period be “in like a lion, out like a lamb?”
