Supreme Court rules in favor of whistleblowers, revives claims pharmacies overcharged governments

The US Supreme Court ruled that whistleblowers can pursue fraud cases against pharmacies.
Whistleblowers accused Safeway and SuperValu of charging higher drug prices to governments than to individuals.
The court's decision overturned a lower court ruling that protected the pharmacies.
The case was brought under a law allowing whistleblowers to sue on behalf of the government over fraud.
The ruling is seen as strengthening protections for whistleblowers and making it harder for companies to avoid accountability for false claims.
