A major opioid manufacturer that had promised to pay $1.7 billion as compensation over its role in the opioid crisis disclosed on Wednesday that it had reached an agreement with its creditors to reduce the settlement payments by $1 billion. The funds had been earmarked for addiction victims to rebuild their lives and for governments to pay for priorities like drugs to reverse opioid overdoses. In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, Mallinckrodt disclosed that it had reached a plan to file for bankruptcy for the second time in three years. The plan to cancel a majority of the outstanding payments was devised with backing from hedge funds that would control the company under a second bankruptcy. The funds had lent money to Mallinckrodt and were in a position to force the company to prioritize paying back its lenders over compensating victims.

If not, it will be up to elected officials to end such unhealthy bankruptcy addictions. As part of that settlement, Mallinckrodt agreed to pay $1.7 billion over eight years to settle opioid claims.
