Mylan execs took a 461% raise as they hiked the price.

Oh boy.

Manchin should give his daughter a good talking to imo.

Is the epipen a monopoly product?  Shouldn't you be able to have a generic version by now?

You can if you can make a working one which rivals have been unable to do so far.

Huh, didn't know Senator Manchin raised the prices himself.

Worst case, he's complicit. Best case, he did a terrible job of raising his daughter.

Do your folks control your entire system of values and ethics as an adult?

I have to admit, it's a bit ironic that in the death penalty thread, Antonio believes that adult human beings are change-able enough that even a serial murderer with a mental illness can be completely rehabilitated, yet somehow an adult's behavior can be directly linked to a parent's raising of their kids, and not experiences thereafter.  No doubt parents have a great influence over their kids, but it doesn't seem fair to blame an adult's bad behavior on poor parenting, per se.  Many school shooters seemed to grow up in normal familial environments, for instance.

[Antonio the Sixth]

lol, I never said Manchin is entirely responsible for everything his daughter does. That said, when people show this level of poor judgment, it's not unreasonable to assume a fault in parenting.

[DINGO Joe]

Maybe somebody is close to developing a generic and Mylan has gone into "take the money and run" mode.  And while I'm certainly no  expert, I've seen several stories about Mylan trying to acquire other drug makers and vice-versa.  Certainly seems like a desperate bid for cash for whatever reason.  Too bad, it's about the only thing other than coal and fed govt WV does.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

This was my first thought too.

Obviously despicable any way you slice it.

I don't even know where to begin with this, so I'll just say, it really would be a moral failing on your part to deprive society of your superior parenting skills that us loose and lackadaisical humans fail to adequately provide.

...really? Is it really that crazy or arrogant to hold public figures accountable where their children (also in a position of power) do something so clearly wrong?

That's weird.  Apparently it was invented by an engineer at Survival Technology way back in the 1970s.

I wonder how long Congress will keep having to haul in corporate execs and such before them before they realize they need to enact some meaningful patent reform.

[IceSpear]

Good thing for Manchin he was already doomed regardless.

[White Trash]

Man, my comment was really snarky now that I think about it. Didn't mean for it to read that way y'all.

Better start donating more to the Clinton Foundation, Heather.

NY Times sez that a generic may be out by next year, so yeah, it's a good old fashioned money grab

Funny how people are okay with insurance companies doing this, but if someone suggests the government do so (that's what "negotiating drug prices" for Medicare would mean), people throw a fit and rant about MUH DEATH PANELS.

We should be negotiating for that and everything the gov't pays for.
