ST PAUL, MN — A group of major drug manufacturers is suing the state of Minnesota over a law that regulates medication prices for some patients.
AbbVie, AstraZeneca and four other companies filed a lawsuit against the state in U.S. District Court earlier this week. The companies claim that part of a law regulating cannabis also requires them to take part in a federal program that sends discounted medicines to hospitals that serve low-income and uninsured patients.
The companies accuse the state of overstepping its authority and taking property without due process. They also claim passing the provision as part of another law violates state and federal single-subject requirements.
