After a week in which it came to light that drug manufacturer Mylan has raised the price of the EpiPen (a lifesaver for those who suffer from severe allergies with reactions that result in anaphylactic shock) over 1000% (from $54 to $640) since 2009, and that during that same period, Mylan CEO Heather Manchin Bresch's (daughter of Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, and a huge WTF for that one, even if Sen. Manchin is a DINO) compensation rose from $2.4 million to $18.9 million (a 671% increase for those of you who aren't math majors), Bresch had the audacity to say that we shouldn't blame her but rather our broken healthcare system.
And just who the fuck does she think designed the system?
Because it certainly wasn't working class stiffs like us--no, it was Corporate America and its legion of lobbyists who set it up so that people like Bresch could feed at the trough filled by America's poor and middle class.
Keep in mind that there is a dollar's worth of medicine in each EpiPen.
Someday we need to teach these folks that greed kills--in more ways than one.
Peace,
