#1 Between paying for lawsuits and high executive pay, it is no wonder Mylan charges so much for drugs. When you tack on the amount health care insurers take as a cut, the consumer gets gouged on the retail end. Throw in the amount paid for lobbyists in D.C. and the price goes up even more.

#2 So, Joe conspired with his daughter in establishing/continuing the price gouging for the EpiPen? Please.

This is just a jab against Sen. Manchin for his moderate stances of recent. Would not be surprised to see him "flip" from Dem if he wins his next election.

#3 A 2-pack for the Mylan EpiPens was $600. A prefilled Epi syringe can be bought for less than $10. Less $5 per shot if bought in vials. Yeah, there was a little markup. Especially, when a law was signed by Obama to force schools and parents of students with asthma/allergies to buy the EpiPens. I like to know Manchin's role in passing that law.

#4 Oh, did I mention the EpiPens expire after one year, forcing parents to buy a new set every school year?

#5 Our daughter was in California a year or so ago. She developed a medical emergency while camping and ended up in the emergency room. She had to have an EpiPen. The trip to Emergency and the EpiPen ended up costing about $8000. To add insult to injury, she had high-deductible crappy ObamaCare insurance which covered little of the bill.
