About Joe Machin and the Epi-pen...the Epi-pen costs 600 dollars! I heard that their were other companies that wanted to make an identical product for less money but were stopped. You wonder why medicines are sky high? How many games are going on between the pharmaceutical companies and the politicians?
About Joe Machin and the Epi-pen.....what is worse is that Manchin’s daughter was named CEO and Manchin sat on the Senate Committee over the FDA.
Basically, Sen Manchin ensured his daughter had a monopoly.
Then, Manchin sponsored legislation to mandate all schools keep Epi-Pens on hand incase a student has an allergic reaction to something.
It is not just medical/pharmaceutical where such corruption exists. It is in every industry regulated by gov’t.
This is why our Founders wanted a small gov’t...so it could not devolve into such corruption.
Liberals lament corporate money in politics. Well, it would not happen if those corporations could not buy influence and an advantage in the market.
The problem is that our elected leaders have sold us out unconstitutionally.
