If the cost is that expensive, my insurance company might decide that they are no longer going to pay for it. So if that happens, my life just became worthless to my insurance company simply because the drug company is too greedy to lower the cost to something reasonable.
It is a sad day when one's own life is threatened by the greed of a pharmaceutical company's desire to keep their bottom line full.
I wish I didn't have to depend on an Epi Pen, but my allergies don't give me any other option.
Same here.

The medicine it self still costs next to nothing, pair that with a cheap syringe and you have a solution that cost less than a 1/3 of what the epi pen cost before the price increase.
The media and spoiled or stupid parents are the only ones who feel entitled to the convince the epi-pen provides. I say F-u to those too proud to learn how to use a syringe. the creator of the pen should be allow to sell it at any price, so long as the base drug is still accessible and affordable.
See Aroura's response, you vile, awful...
On top of it, because of the growing cost of Epi Pens, I was going to Mexico to obtain epinephrine and syringes. When I came to Florida, TSA wouldn't let my epinephrine on the plane. What do you suggest one do in a situation such as that? And do you suggest I trust some stranger to administer a syringe full of the correct amount of epinephrine? When my throat is closing up and I'm panicking because of it, how do you suppose I'll administer my own?
What is wrong with you??
