Step outside and look around, do you see a neat orderly docile homogeneous society?
Why should the govt control the price or availiabilty of anything? Are politicians gifted with some wisdom that the consumer doesn't have?

Because in a country such as ours a person shouldn't have to worry about affording between an epi-pen, rent or dying by getting stung.

You do realize that it was taxpayers that funded the discovery in the first place? Why should a private company be able to profit off something like this that the taxpayers paid to discover?

Also, your reply is telling. You don't care much for those poor blacks do you? When I step outside I see a homogeneous docile society but it's not about me.

Not sure Japan is a great place to look either. Isn't their suicide rate something like 60% higher then the rest of the world ? They might have great health care but something is wrong...

Being that the discussion is health care and you say they very well might have great health care, then yes, looking at Japan is relevant

Looks to me like you had some pressing desire to take a pot shot at them for doing something better than us.

I wonder if sending millions of kids into anaphylaxis shock is enough to convince their stupid parents not to vote for Hitliary?

...probably not.

Oh, please.

You are trying to link Clinton to this price-hike, either through Manchin, or through Manchin's daughter.

The link to Manchin, because he is a fellow Democrat, becomes moot when he is one of the few in the party to refuse to endorse Clinton.

The link to the drug company becomes moot when Clinton has been calling on the drug company to lower its prices for the Epipen.


But I'm glad that you concur that your original post was NOTHING BUT HOT AIR.

Gun Control Manchin-Toomey Joe Manchin (D-WV)?

Defenseless Americans who won't be allowed to defend themselves against violent criminals or allergic shock.

He most certainly did endorse her.

Manchin endorses Hillary Clinton as he looks ahead to next White House occupant

WV MetroNews – Manchin endorses Hillary Clinton as he looks ahead to next White House occupant

“No matter what they might be saying out there, they have a friend,” Senator Joe Manchin III, who accompanied Mrs. Clinton, told the panel participants.

Does that prove a link? No but he most certainly did endorse AND campaign for her.

Clinton says a lot of things she doesn't actually mean. Her saying this proves nothing either as she has said many things and then done the opposite.

And here we are with the race card again.... I guess black people are being denied the Epipen while whites and others are not? I didn't see race mentioned ANYWHERE until you brought it up.
As an aside, there is another auto injector that is a cheaper form of the Epipen. It's called Adrenaclick and sells for as low as $140.

My bad, then, regarding Manchin.

Your last sentence simply tells us that you are entrenched in your opposition to Hillary.
