A generic pack of the Epi pen will only cost you $300.00 which only cost $150.00 for the real ...
medicine before they drove up they price 400%. Where is the outrage from the Congress's over site committee? Saving lives is big business!

1. notice how, once again, they're coming up with a solution that keeps the epipen price high
now they're also gonna grab themselves a slice of the generic market as well.
they're doing everything they can to make it *look* like they're fixing the problem except actually lowering the price of epipens. |

2. Yes I have!
I use an inhaler & they did the same to the prices of this & force me to pay more for something else.

3. Animal use epinephrine is so cheep
$20.00 for 50 ml@ml per 100 pounds. That works out to about $0.40 per dose. Make it a dollar including the disposal syringe.
I have an allergy to horse sera. We always keep the epinephrine handy when using tetanus antitoxin which is equine serum. If I'm in anaphylactic shock I'll not bet to fussed getting vet med. |

5. Many on both sides of the aisle
are paid to day nothing and keep their traps shut. Oh, there may be momentary grandstanding, but that's it.

6. All I Can Say
is I hope it works better than some of the generics I've encountered.
