$600 to $300 is still a major profit. Major profit.
OMG! Profits!!!
How evil of a company to attempt to make a “profit.”

The Epi Pen should be free to everyone who needs it. “”

Not good points.
This is life-saving device for which there is no good substitute. It is also ridiculously cheap to make and was developed from Government funded programs.
In a real free-market capitalistic system, this device would be widely available from different makers and would be inexpensive. There is after all a big demand for them and they are easy to make.
We do not have a free-market system today.
The EpiPen is sold at predatory pricing (literally "your money or your life") to vulnerable patients because of corrupt deals between A Democrat Congress thief and the MyLan CEO. In fact they are relatives.
Of course those patients have a "choice". They can pay what the monopoly supplier demands - or they can die.
Other choices should be considered.
