Walgreens has agreed to pay nearly $230 million to San Francisco to settle claims that the pharmacy giant fueled the opioid epidemic that has plagued the city for decades.The settlement, which will be paid out over the course of 15 years, follows a federal judge's finding last year that the drugstore chain doled out hundreds of thousands of "red flag" prescription drug orders without investigation.
