Heard about EpiPen CEO?

[Drich]

This scares me. I have to rely on an Epi Pen for my allergies to nuts because it's life threatening allergy. 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.

You douche bags do understand, the life saving drug is not what is gone up, but the devise that has been created to deliver it conveniently has gone up...

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??

I'm sure at first their will be a thinning of the heard, but Know that your 'loss' will be for the greater good. That by your death/example you will be made into a PSA for people flying with special needs to get special dispensation or a special allowance for your condition before you fly.. OR if your allowance happens to be on the bann substance list then your PSA could be a reminder to make 'other' arrangements... The public should not be put in danger because of your handicap.

After all if the drug itself is bann then it does not matter how you administer it you should not be allowed on the plan no matter how you plan to administer it.

Remember a wise person one said the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the 1.
