Episode Details

AstraZeneca is paying nearly $34 million to Texas to settle allegations it ran a kickback scheme targeting Medicaid by offering free nursing services and other perks to sway doctors into prescribing its drugs — all while taxpayers footed the bill. This marks part of Texas’s aggressive push against pharmaceutical fraud, with similar lawsuits already filed against other major drugmakers accused of bribing providers to push profitable medications. The settlement avoids trial and sends a clear message: taxpayer dollars won’t be used to fund unethical sales tactics.
