Hospitals are telling government officials it would be illegal to claw back $7.8 billion as part of a remedy that is making hospitals whole over underpaid drug discounts — and they may sue if that plan goes into effect.

The industry is walking a tightrope by trying to maximize the amount of money hospitals can keep. Lobbyists are praising federal officials for agreeing to dole out billions of dollars in future, lump-sum payments, but they are also pressuring Medicare not to offset a penny of those funds.
