The $400 EpiPen

It is an important concession because when those policies are in place, parents have to deal with the burden imposed by the unfair price gouging that you seem to support.

 

If you want to characterize my comments as support, that's fine, but for the record I don't really believe there's such a thing as "unfair price gouging."

 

Your comments are support, so how else should they be characterized?

Your opinion on unfair price gouging is noted and dismissed with the derision it deserves.

 

I'm fairly down with e = m*(c^2), so put me in the special relativity cheerleader camp, too.

Got it in my head that only one of us: A) knows what rent-seeking actually is; and B) has ever, in his work in the public sector, actually done something to ameliorate it.

 

Anyone else think this test is bullshit?

 

Best I can tell it's not inaccurate. I've looked at the policies of several local school districts (and private schools) and have yet to find one that states "it MUST be an Epipen from Mylan."

 

Mylan will offer a "generic" version, which as far as I can tell is the exact same product in every way, for half the price of the "real" one:

Mylan to Offer a Generic EpiPen at Half the Price

 

Gracious of them to voluntarily lose money like that. I hope they don't go out of business.

 

This should pleas Kaep

 

Isn't the drug itself cheap? The unique aspect of the Epipen is the delivery system.

So you're going to get a generic delivery system? What's that -- a syringe?

Comical.
