This is Crazy. My sister just messaged me saying she is spending $400 this month on epi pens and she is asking for them for Xmas gifts because hers are expiring! Come on Congress.... Mylan should be ashamed.Dec 8th, 2016Michelle C. from Buffalo, NY writes:
Isn't it awful that a government that is set up to protect its people have to sign petitions for such ridiculousness? Get out of big pharma's pockets and represent the PEOPLE.REPORT COMMENTS

My family is preparing for an new year with inaccessible health care and pharmaceutical prices. The price gouging happening with life saving devices such as the EpiPen is a public health crisis in action. Congress needs to take action to protect it's constituency as soon as possible. Our lives and our children's lives depend on it.REPORT COMMENTS

When my daughter was just one year old she came within minutes of dying from an anaphylactic reaction the first time she tried nuts. After that day, the worst in my life, we were prescribed epipens and have carried them with us religiously day in and day out. This week she again started to have severe allergic reaction and I gave her the epipen. She could have been dead but within five minutes had stabilized. I am infinitely grateful to have celebrated Thanksgiving this year with her here rather than planning her funeral. I was able to afford the co-pay for my drug. So many others can't. Please make this drug affordable for all. Please don't force families to plan funerals versus birthday parties.REPORT COMMENTS

Price gouging on this scale just "because you can" (you have a patent on the design) is beyond immoral, it's reprehensible. I don't see how the people responsible for these decisions can sleep at night, knowing that they are making it difficult or even impossible for people to receive life saving medicine just so they can line their pockets a bit more. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that if the price were lowered a lot more people would purchase the product, resulting in a higher volume of sales and similar or even increased bottom line. Even if that's not true, ethics should be a more major concern. Regardless, Mylan could charge 1/4 of what they do and still make a significant profit. The technology and medication have been available for ages with no substantial changes, so it's certainly not like they're trying to recover massive R&D costs. I don't even have any known allergies or need Epinephrine personally, but this whole ordeal is just disgusting.REPORT COMMENTS

I didn't have insurance to cover the over $500 pens when I was prescribed them in the spring. By late summer when I had met my out of pocket, they were over $700. That's a fast jump.REPORT COMMENTS

http://www.naturalblaze.com/2016/11/aluminium-adjuvants-have-never-been-approved-for-use-in-vaccination.html According to Professor Christopher Exley?s recent research, there are currently two main aluminum adjuvants commonly used in vaccinations today. These are AlHydrogel, a semi-crystalline (boehmite) form of aluminium oxyhydroxide and AdjuPhos, an amorphous salt of aluminium hydroxyphosphate. The sulphate salt of the latter is also listed as being one component of an adjuvant system used in vaccinations against HPV. AlHydrogel? and AdjuPhos? are commonly referred to as clinically-approved aluminum adjuvants, and yet this is not the case. There are no aluminum adjuvants that have been approved for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection into humans. There are no requirements for their approval; they are only ?approved? as part of vaccine preparations. His words are extremely worrying, especially when you consider just how many vaccinations on the childhood vaccination schedule contain the adjuvant aluminum as an ingredient. Pharmaceuticals involve more underhanded skullduggery than a week in vegas. The CEOs of these companies should be executed for crimes against humanityREPORT COMMENTS

My son is severely allergic to peanuts and we have unfortunately had to use epi pens twice to help save his life after accidental ingestion. I went to refill his prescription today and was told after insurance the cost is $600. I need to buy two packs of this which is $1200. This is outrageous!! This life saving medication is not an option for us and I will be forced to pay this high price for no reason other than greed. It makes me sick.REPORT COMMENTS
