NY Post ^ | August 25, 2016 | Daniel Halper

The pharmaceutical company under fire for increasing the cost of its life-saving EpiPen has been criticized by Hillary Clinton — despite the fact that the manufacturer donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Records available on the website of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation reveal Mylan, the company that manufactures the EpiPen, has donated up to $250,000.

“The law makes an important change to the Children’s Asthma Treatment Grants Program and other federal asthma programs, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to give funding preferences to states for asthma-treatment grants if they: maintain an emergency supply of epinephrine (EpiPens), if they permit trained personnel of the school to administer epinephrine, and if they develop a plan for ensuring trained personnel are available to administer epinephrine during all hours of the school day.”

Bresch, then-Gov. Joe Manchin’s daughter claimed, then got and finally had rescinded, a phony degree from WVU. In the hubbub, the president, provost and a dean were forced to resign for trying to cover her ass.

Having a Governor, now Senator, for a Daddy can be beneficial.....one way or another.

Yep. Clinton/Obama regulated Manchin’s competition out of business. Payoff paid to Clinton.

Follow the money. Who shorted the stock? I would be willing to bet if the SEC looks they will find most of Clinton’s donors.

From Heather Bresch's Wiki page

In 2007, Mylan secured rights to the nearly fifty year old EpiPen, used to treat anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions).[29] Bresch advocated for broader availability of EpiPens in public places and helped pass the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act which made epinephrine more accessible in schools.[17][30] Between 2009 and May 2016, under Bresch's tenure as Mylan president, Mylan raised the price of a set of pens by nearly 500 %, from $103.50 to $608.61.[29] Proxy filings show that from 2007 to 2015, Bresch's compensation went from $2,453,456 to $18,931,068, a 671 percent increase. During the same period, EpiPen prices went from $56.64 to $317.82, a 461 percent increase, according to data provided by Connecture.[31]

The crony Demorats control the FDA. The FDA has stonewalled and prevented the generics from making it to market for four years now.

Heard on Vicevich this morning, a contractor who had his auto-injector delayed 2 years over a ‘color scheme problem on the labeling’

Absolute FDA corruption.

$15? Dang, you have good insurance. We had to pay $200 a year ago for our daughter’s EpiPen.

Hillary is the reason I have to pay a $15 co pay for my Epi Pen, I should have known.

You have to shell out $15 for a $600 prescription?

She had to get that out in some form to inoculate herself from a coming disclosure that a donor is guilty of price-gouging on medical supplies.

I’m sorry to say, I’m sad to report, there are a lot of stupid people in this country.

I thought it was only Europe. I’m amazed at how many are simply clueless; many think they are quite “well-informed” because they watch .... the evening news.

It was so easy to turn 1/2 the country stupid .... just get the MSM to pump propaganda 24/7/365.

But then, I’m a tin-foiler. Or something.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That’s the max I have to pay on any prescription, most are $5.

One Epi Pen is good for about 2 years, unless I actually have to use it. Wasp or bee sting, etc.

I’m not complaining, just blaming Hillary

Dang. I’m sincerely jealous. I pay $9,000 per year for my family’s insurance, and copays are really high.
