In case you are wondering why MYL and IBB have taken a little nosedive right now

[Sarah Barracuda]

Kind of ironic since Epipens has donated to the Clinton Foundation, guess they are going to have to increase their donation to please Saint Hillary

This is the only way she can diss Obama. She can’t say one word against him directly.

[HarleyLady27]

I was just going to say this...lol...thanks Sarah!!!

[Col Frank Slade]

She doesn’t want to get outshined by Sen Dick “sue them all” Blumenthal.

[unixfox]

Funny she isn’t “outraged” about Obamacrap insurance rates going through the roof.

I REALLY hate this government.

[Democrats hate too much]

"In case you are wondering why MYL and IBB have taken a little nosedive right now "

-I wonder if she shorted them first.

[Mouton]

She issues a statement. Wow, blow me over with that one. Does that mean she cannot muster the energy to get in front of the cameras and do a Huey Long type rant?? What it does mean for sure is she is not facing anyone with a mic these days because of the potential someone could say: that is nice to hear but let’s talk about the Foundation or the Email scandal, or since this is about health, how about your health.

Can criticism of the cost of Diazepam injectable be far behind...

Oh, I've criticized the cost of many drugs...  (bwa ha ha ha...)

What about the explosion in foreign policy pricing?

The Saudis must be pissed!

[Mouton]

If she did, bet it was with the foundation account!

[RummyChick]

Well, you have to wonder how many of her buddies are short MYL and IBB..as well as any of her mystery accounts

Luckily, I shorted IBB this morning so thanks Hillary for the money.. The one time Hillary helped me out in my life. LOLOL

[Vesuvian]

How come none of these for-the-little-guy types is outraged by college tuition hikes? Oh, that’s right- let the taxpa..., I mean, the government pay : \

EpiPen injections, which help stop potentially fatal allergic reactions, cost $57 in 2007. They now run $609. According to CNBC, the price of EpiPens has increased at a steady rate in those nine years.

Given this, and unless the company has an incredibly compelling explanation, I would have to agree with Hillary on this one.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Another attempt to get the Berniebots onboard

[txrefugee]

The Clinton Foundation & Money Laundering operation have taken donations from Mylan Labs, that recently bought the Epipen production. Hillary knew this negative publicity would come out, so she’s hopped in with an a**-saving attempt to avoid the results of being in bed with a drug company that is charging 400% more for Epipens that keep millions of allergy sufferers alive when they can’t breathe. Prices went from $57 each to $700 for a 2 pk, which is the only way they are sold now.All schools are required to have them for the children with severe food allergies or wasp sting allergies.

One of the biggest problems with Capitalism is Capitalists who have no common sense nor moral compass.

They pee in the pool. Then pee in the pool. Then pee in the pool some more.

Eventually the stench becomes unbearable and the public calls in the pool cleaner, who is invariably a Communist.

[RummyChick]

best explanation of why she did it and why she did it now. there are plenty of things in the drug industry that are overpriced but she zeroed in on this one for a reason

[V_TWIN]

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
