Good to know that the US health care system will impose these individuals with the cost. Shame on them for not properly researching the product. They should have considered their consumer choices against the possibility of cancer years later. No doubt the medical bankruptcy some will have is deserved.

Obviously sarcasm. This is, however, how the current US medical system behaves. It's impossible that these patients would have the capacity to evaluate medication sources like they would any other product. Many likely had no opportunity or choice. Yet the US supports a system that punishes an individual for aspects well beyond the individual.

You should able to sue the pharmacy and your insurer for sourcing and requiring tainted products that are not quality controlled. I would expect some class action lawsuits to appear shortly.

I hope so. After reading the Bloomberg article, I looked up my Losartan Rx. It's from a manufacturer's lot that was pulled by the FDA on Feb 28 of this year.

The kicker is, my (major chain) pharmacy sold it to me this July...

I would get a lawyer. Sounds like you are due a nice settlement.

Ideally yes. However, that's assuming a lot of privilege that the average consumer wouldn't have at all in this case.
