The EpiPen Costs $112 USD in Canada---$600 in U.S.

[WaitingFor2020]

So Joe Manchin's daughter's plea of how this $600 price tag is out of her control is just a lot of hogwash.
Canada buys their EpiPens from the U.K. and sells them online (with a prescription) for $112 USD.

Shall we wait to see when Canada goes bankrupt because they regulate the price of drugs? Don't hold your breath.

Edited: The cost of producing a single vial of Epinephrine ranges from .10 to .95. It was first created and implemented in....wait for it....1904. I wonder what the cost of the injector is? Probably a couple of bucks. So Joe Manchin's despicable daughter cannot claim R & D on this one. Bitch.

This isn't just price gouging, it's extortion.

Fucking criminal crony capitalism, Dems will sweep it under the rug

And of course......Capitalisms motto....How can I serve you....the company announced they are going to help people who need the pen.....a capitalist response......considering the FDA squashed another, generic pen..........a socialist response, and another pen was recalled, created a short term monopoly for this pen.....

The company is responding by giving out coupons to people who can't afford the price, cutting it by 50% and increasing the number of people who qualify for it....and once the FDA gets off its ass and moves more products through the pipeline of the bureaucratic morass.....then the price will actually come down as more companies make it...

More competition, not government interference is how the quality goes up and the price goes down...just ask your Apple I-phone.....

And capitalism wins again.....

in a capitalist economy....you have to make customers happy...or they will not buy your products.....in the kind of socialist society too many want....they just don't care.......you would be stuck.....
Mylan to Reduce EpiPen Costs as Political Pressure Mounts

Mylan will expand existing programs to help people with high out-of-pocket expenses, according to a statement Thursday. By using a savings card, patients will get as much as $300 toward their EpiPen 2-Pak, which should effectively reduce costs by 50 percent for those who were previously paying the full list price. The drugmaker is also doubling eligibility for its patient assistance program so now a family of four that makes up to $97,200 would not have to pay for the EpiPen.

“We recognize the significant burden on patients from continued, rising insurance premiums and being forced increasingly to pay the full list price for medicines at the pharmacy counter,” Mylan’s Bresch said in a statement. “Price is only one part of the problem that we are addressing with today’s actions. All involved must also take steps to help meaningfully address the U.S. healthcare crisis.”

This is beyond disgusting. Joe Manchin should disown his daughter, who is the CEO of Mylan. All of Congress is in bed with Big Pharma.

This chart shows why everyone's angry about soaring price of lifesaving EpiPen

Honey, if you look beyond that headline you will see they lowered the price FOR SOME because of pressure from Hillary Clinton, not capitalism.

"""The American Medical Association and other doctor groups joined members of Congress and Hillary Clinton urging EpiPenmanufacturer Mylan to “rein in exorbitant costs” of its life-saving device for allergy sufferers."""

By the time they figure out how SOME PEOPLE will get a discount it will be like waiting for BP to pay for the devastation done to Gulf Coast businesses from the oil spill. Don't hold your breath.

Wrong....they knew that this was a P.R. disaster.......and it would effect their profit...so they had to actually change........and they did it on a dime.....remember......the government on health care....? You can keep your doctor if you want to...and obamacare would drive the cost curve down.....and in Illinois...the cost curve thanks to obama is going up 49%..........how fast is that going to change?

Socialism doesn't work......overnight the price for this item is coming down because they have to keep their customers happy.....try that with obamacare...see what happens...

 

[Manonthestreet]

Now note very carefully that absent government force it is blatantly illegal under 15 USC, with a ten year per countfelony prison term, to attempt to monopolize, restrain trade or price-fix. Therefore it is only because of the explicit, intentional and outrageous conduct of your own government that you are getting raped like this on a literal daily basis, and this issue, as I've repeatedly pointed out is not limited to EpiPens -- in fact, Mylan has raised prices on dozens of off-patent, generic medications by about the same 500% in the last few years and the only reason they get away with any of it is the above use of government force.

Wrong. The effect of capitalism would be that people STOPPED BUYING THE PENS therefore the price would drop. Not pressure from politicians and associations.

You stupid people mouth capitalism and you don't even know how it works in its most simplest form.

Last time I had my prescription filled it was $18.00. Time before that $13.00 and they had to be replaced every year so I quit buying them. This is ridiculous.

Bad P.R. is just as bad for a companies bottom line....

And guess what genius........how about we dig into the FDA and see who was keeping other epi pens off the market through keeping them from getting through......I bet you are going to find democrat finger prints all over that..........

What an ignorant statement.
The US has the less regulated environment in the world for Big Pharma. Thus the fact that Big Phama's prices are many times more expensive in the USA than in other country in the world.
Our congress and president could do something about this rape of America, but they are so far in the back pocket of Big Pharma, nothing happens. That'd be Republicans and Democrats.
Get a fucking clue.

Now you're moving on to Obamacare? Now it's bad P.R.? Make up your dizzy little mind. And go back to my previous posts, I said Congress was to blame for Big Pharma, nitwit.
