just a reminder that the company that makes EpiPens, the poo poo you need to carry with you if you have a bad allergy so you don't literally die, cranked the cost to $600 a pair over the course of the last year or so.

They also awarded multi million dollar bonuses to executives for improving their revenues.

quote:

At the time, the bonuses were worth $82 million to its five top executives alone, according to The Wall Street Journal.

quote:

At drug price-comparison website GoodRx, the cheapest price today is $614 for a package containing two, or more than $300 per EpiPen, up from about $100 for two.


Meanwhile kids with bad allergies can just deal with it lmao



but but but we gotta pay for research

quote:

After years of price hikes, revenue has surged to about $1 billion annually. Margins have jumped from about 9 percent in 2008 to about 55 percent in 2014, Bloomberg News reported, citing researcher ABR|Healthco
