EpiPen price spike: Daughter of Dem senator takes advantage of FDA red tape to exploit monopoly

Hillary feigns outrage, but everything about this has Democrat fingerprints on it

Just like earlier this year with Martin Shkreli and Daraprim, the Internet is full of outrage the past few days over the action of Mylan CEO Heather Fausch to raise the price of the live-saving drug EpiPen to $500 per unit. And as always happens, politicians are getting into the act, particularly Hillary Clinton, who raged that Mylan must reduce the price immediately - as if pharmaceutical companies check with candidates for political office in setting their pricing.

But if Hillary really wants to manifest her rage - as if it were anything but calculated for her own benefit - she should turn it inward toward herself and the Democratic Party. Because everything about this can be traced back to Democrats.

In before the capitalism is bad people.

The FDA is a den of political thieves

When then CEO’s pay goes from $2 to $18 million in 9 years, the money’s gotta com from somewhere.

I hope some one’s looking at the shorts on the stock to see if Hillary arranged a chance for her donors to make a killing.

It’s for sure no one in the government is looking.

Anybody hear of Hillary giving back the money Mylan donated to the Clinton Cash Machine as she was denouncing them?

[pepsionice]

That’s $8,600 per hour.

There’s another FDA paradox, where the FDA approves of a medication or procedure but then obamacare, midicaid, medicare and VA don’t approve it so the major private insurance writers follow suit and don’t approve. So that medication or procedure then becomes an out of pocket expense.

She (Bresch) and her U.S. Senator (D) father are bad actors...but a lot of it was self-inflicted by not researching the “epinephrine auto-injector” generic market. She jacked the price after increasing demand dramatically thru nefarious means and profited handsomely (especially thru her salary bonuses on increased sales).

As I posted on another thread:

---

Ms. Bresch at Mylan got demand for the “Epipen” to jump dramatically by using her dad the U.S. senator to help push thru mandatory “epinephrine auto-injector” legislation for schools & airlines and also a lot of high-priced advertising to parents of allergic kids that they had to have Epipens. Unfortunately those parents/schools only think of “Epipen” when thinking of “epinephrine auto-injector”...sorta like Crescent wrench instead of “adjustable open-end wrench” or “Kleenex” instead of “tissue”. Sales skyrocketed and she jacked the price to match. Fortunately there are other suppliers of “epinephrine auto-injectors”....including “Adrenaclick” for about the cost of Epipen 10 years ago, and the usage instructions are very similar “remove safety caps, place needle end against the thigh and push firmly for 10 seconds”. :

This woman really did nothing to be qualified for her CEO position other than “who her Daddy is.” Of course, the company benefited enormously due to favorable legislations/regs.

Everyone take note: Search every member of Congress for children/nieces/nephews that might have similar “token” positions...and buy, buy, buy the stock. The insiders already do this, obviously.
