The pharmaceutical industry, exasperated with the federal government, is seeking relief in the courts from ever-expanding 340B costs.

Last week, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) filed a lawsuit to shield from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) its proposal to pay rebates to certain 340B entities purchasing Stelara ustekinumab and Xarelto rivaroxaban, instead of extend discounts. Now,  Eli Lilly and Co. (NYSE:LLY) has filed a separate suit over its proposal to pay rebates to covered entities.
