Why didn't you include McKesson, Cardinal Health, Walgreens, or CVS on the lists? Those companies are part of the pharmaceutical distribution system - and were definitely partially responsible for the current opioid crisis.

That seems like an artificial distinction - if they are profiting from the system, then they bear at least some responsibility for high drug prices.

But the primary challenges facing the health system also depends on who you are asking... The opioid epidemic also is an huge challenge that has enormous costs to the health care system and society - and McKesson and the others were all profiting from selling and distributing outrageous amounts of opioids - more than anyone could ever take. Now that they have a bunch of addicts, they now are profiting from selling them Suboxone.
