West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin’s daughter, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch, who has come under fire for her company’s widely-slammed decision to raise the cost of the EpiPen by 461 Percent since 2007, raised her salary by a whopping 671 percent during her tenure at the pharmaceutical giant.
Bresch’s annual income jumped from $2,453,456 in 2007 to $18,931,068 in 2015, coinciding with the astounding price increase on the life-saving emergency allergy shot, The Chicago Tribune reports.
In addition to her astoundingly high salary, Bresch reportedly took advantage of a number of unprecedented perks, including personal use of the company’s aircraft.
The EpiPen has served as a cash cow for Mylan, accounting for 40 percent of the pharmaceutical company’s operating profits in 2014. Its price has gone up form a wholesale price of $56.64 to $317.82 in just a few short years.

50ml of epinephrine costs $6.00 at your local feed and supply. 50ml per 100# of body weight. That comes out to about sixty cents per adult dose.
How much did she donate to Hillary?
This makes me wonder if the product getting yanked was political.
When is Mancin up?
I think this whole thing is to blur the fact that Hillary needs to have a dr follow her around with a epi pen type device to keep her upright so if it is asked she will say you must be confusing this with the epi pen story
If Martin Shkreli was demonized as the “Pharma Bro” for raising prices on drugs, is Manchin’s daughter going to be demonized as the “Pharma Ho”?
2018.
Hard to believe people actually vote for people that engage in pure greed. How repulsive. She rakes in the dough off of others misery.
That is all this is about.
Greed
Who can blame her. It’s not easy trying to get by on 2 million dollars a year./s
.
Can’t believe Mylan Board allows someone who FAKED an MBA as its CEO.
Another greedy democrat. Nothing new, just following hellary’s example.
At 18 million per year now she can afford to contribute more to the Clinton Crime Foundation. Corrupt democrats lives matter; they throw some entitlement bones and rhetoric to the ignorant masses and keep their gravy train going. USA has become a 3rd world banana republic.
So true. Today’s Wall Street Journal has an editorial about how the FDA has blocked generic competition to the EpiPen for years. I think the country in the phrase “there’s something rotten in Denmark” needs to be replaced.
Thanks! That's a one way to fight this kind of crap, D.I.Y.
Is it just a coincidence that these people connected to our government get rich?
One suspects (but one does not know) that she just might be "dirty".
Which then makes me a bit curious
What is her party affiliation? Donation history?
And, might by sheer coincidence have she any "pals" at FDA?
Oh absolutely I believe Obama has made changes to pharmaceutical choices. He has taken many old tried and true drugs off the market because of his new regulations.
What do you want to bet that she got the position because her daddy is a US senator?
