Any thoughts?

I keep one on hand in case of killer bee attacks etc.

think that its for bug bites , bees and others , probably is worth while if one is allergic .

I think Grouchy is referring to the skyrocketing price, not the efficacy.

You are correct.

seems to me that if you want something then you buy it or do without . I've been stung by bees maybe 10 , 15 times and wasps 1-2 times . Never needed an epipen .

Charging hundreds of dollars for something that only costs $1 is only possible when the govt. grants them a monopoly.

lots of stuff like that , can a 'cope' used to be 35 cents and a pack a Camels was 30 cents . Rising costs and government mandated taxes raised prices .

Executives who have no shame...or moral decency.

Wasn't Obamacare going to fix this?

private company i think its the businesses leaders jobs to maximize profits . Gotta keep the owners and shareholders , investors happy with profit . ---------------- i think that thats how Capitalism works .

Govt. enforced monopolies has nothing to do with capitalism.

Indecent.

all I know is that some stuff is expensive due to mandated taxes on items like like cigs and tobacco. People even cry when bottled water gets expensive in earthquake zones . Looks like epipen can be added to the list of expensive items PSteve .

Planosteve..lurching uncontrollably into the truth.

as already mentioned , with Obamacare shouldn't everything be ok . And looking around on the web I see prices of 80 bucks [more or less] for a twin pack which doesn't seem all that bad to me .

Mylan has a patent on the injector pen. Teva failed this year to get approved, someone else pulled theirs last year (dosage issue iirc).

I gotta wonder what makes that injector/patent so dang hard to beat.


500% price increase over the last 7 or so years is good for the shareholders...not good for people who have to have the product, my sister does

it is an issue coming up on FOX business with Varney and John Stossel , topic is mentioned as being profit versus morality .
