More reasons to vote this November - especially if you have a life-threatening allergy

Very interesting and knowledgable essay about the whole EpiPen debacle.

This dude and his blog and FB page has made me question and think about stuff I normally wouldn't a lot more than I ever used to.

Hear, hear...

We have had a Congress working against us for too long. Pretty much handing out 'free greed allowed here' signs as they went. Yes, she has a right to make a profit. a killing no. a profit yes.

*HUGS*

If you have the time and the interest - and the stomach - in that subject for its own sake, you might like to read Ben Goldacre (yay!) 's Bad Pharma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Pharma).

The makers of the Epi pens are doing all sorts of backpedaling now, offering a $400 'coupon' for a Epi two pack (when we bought some for the GD, they were $60).

It's just obscene what these drug companies are getting away with.
