Title: CEO Heather Bresch
Post by: walkstall on August 27, 2016, 07:00:46 PM
Aug 23, 2016 ยท But that 400% increase in wholesale price for EpiPen looks meager compared to the whopping 671% salary increase company CEO Heather Bresch

Bresch went from making $2.453,456 in 2007 to $18,931,068 in 2015, amounting to a 671 percent raise over eight years.

If this is isn't just BEGGING for market competition, then I don't know what is!

unfortunately, what we'd get under either Donald or Hillary is government interference.

unfortunately under Trump there would be a lot more people being sued.  As the taxpayer would be paying for it all.

I thought the same thing. How is it they are the only ones making this product?
We had something similar in the army in the event of a chem attack, and that was 45 years ago, so it can't be a patent issue.

As I remember it has to do with the FDA.  Something about the pump.

That is what I understand as well. If the FDA would get out of the way the free market would work.
