#1 Graduates from College in 1991. Dad get's her a job in 1992 with Mylan. Twentyfive years later she's making $19m per year. Is this a great country or what? I wonder how the other ladies down in the Mylan QC department are doing these days ?

At a WVU basketball game in 1992, Bresch's father mentioned his daughter's job search to Mylan CEO Milan Puskar. The company soon thereafter offered her a low-level position in the quality control department of a factory in Morgantown. According to Bresch, she had misgivings about the offer. Her father said she should "absolutely take it" and try for a year. She took his advice, and started as a clerk, typing labels. She received frequent promotions during the following years, "working hard and learning the industry inside out".

#2 How long have EpiPens been around. And there's no generic? Is it a time thing or is it political? Say what you want about euro style health care at least this kind of shit doesn't happen

#4 Hey! Why should trunks be the only ones to get rich?

On the other hand, this is also a redistribution of income deal -

rebate card worth up to $300 for those who paid the full price of the device out-of-pocket, cutting the price by 50 percent

for the favored special people, (if your name is on our list, see?) full price to the rest of us dweebs.

#5 There's only three types that I know of and the doctors are not fans of the non-brand Epipens. I have them and if the doctor didn't have something that makes them free, they'd cost me $700. Considering they cost less than $4 to make, this is definite price gouging.
