Need an EpiPen, kid? That will be $600
Here’s a good thing to sign: a petition to Mylan Pharmaceuticals telling it to undo its massive price hike on EpiPens.
To: Heather Bresch, CEO, Mylan Pharmaceuticals
From: Your Name HereThe EpiPen contains only $1 worth of medicine, but you’re charging hundreds of times that amount. How many poor children will die because their parents can’t afford $600 EpiPens? Drop the price of this lifesaving medicine NOW!
The petition has gone viral, and social pressure does work in these cases.
Meanwhile, the way we do things in this country? It’s disgusting.
This is just awful. Epipens are among the easiest and most effective medical devices around, and they are ridiculously easy to manufacture.
An EpiPen costs $44,50 here ( Norway).
It costs $50 in Canada.
Have you met your daily anger quote yet? This will get you there:
Pretty sure the people on a limited income are more frustrated, what with having to decide between buying the medication they need vs. paying for rent. Oh but she has to put up with people’s criticism! :(
Typical fucking millionaire attitude.
