Yes I would expect the cost to be higher for the 99% of other medications.
My hope is all the lawsuits going forward won't end up hurting the rest of people.
They have to make up the cost somehow.

to pay out of the huge profits they made off of the opioids. Forcing the cost of criminal activity onto others is no punishment, especially for products which are so ubiquitous in healthcare.
