If you’re cynical enough, you could easily argue that every relationship that any person has is based on nothing more than resources. Somebody claims to love their wife? Unlikely.

I am guessing that it was meant as legal/political/social cover? Hazard pay for the potential litigation they might face?
CVS put some limits on opioid prescriptions:
