Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is one of the top stocks that will make you rich in 10 years. Reuters reported on March 5 that two Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) units have agreed to pay $65 million for the settlement of a proposed antitrust class action by health plans and others claiming they were ​overcharged for the pulmonary hypertension drug Tracleer. The plaintiffs included the Government Employees Health Association and other entities that paid or ​provided reimbursement for the use of Tracleer by their members, and alleged in their lawsuit that competition for a generic version of the medication was delayed by the drugmakers. The ‌lawsuit ⁠alleged the drugmakers obstructed competitor access to samples of Tracleer, which they said “effectively blocked competitors from bringing a competing generic product to market for a period of time.”

The preliminary settlement with Actelion Pharmaceuticals and ‌Janssen Research & Development was filed in the federal court in Maryland, with the proposal requiring approval from a judge. Reuters further stated that Actelion ⁠made billions of dollars in profits from selling Tracleer, which is an oral treatment for pulmonary ​artery hypertension, and was acquired by Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) in 2017. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment on the matter.
