I just paid $1.44 for a Teva Z pack that my doc prescribed. Cheap. Manufactured in Croatia. Thankfully it worked.

yes indeed. Our most recent Teva purchase was a tube of medicine with a special ingredient in it (not easily available from another firm). They could have charged $20 or $30 easily, maybe more. It only cost $5.
(It worked really well, too.)

Teva is one company that appears to NOT belong in this price-fixing suit

That’s not an accident. Each generic drug allowed into the US market, whether prescription or non-prescription, is tested for efficacy and safety prior to market entry and randomly tested once in the market, both via random off the shelf pulls as well as plant inspections. The FDA is the one agency that really earns its keep, from the perspective of drug safety.
