Yes they most certainly do BUT at the same time said company should NOT be free from competition due to GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION which seems to be the case here.

It's my belief had Mylan's "friends" not intervened as seems to be the case here, then competition would've kept prices at a level far BELOW what they are today.

The item in question was developed with taxpayers money. In that case, no. This is a more complicated issue than that but as a quick answer it will suffice.

Know who else has donated to the Clinton Foundation...Donald Trump!

Donald Trump appears to have donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation - Business Insider

As for this company, something needs to happen to them. There has to be some way to apply anti-trust laws on them.

Which as a "business man" makes sense, he's well aware that there's a pay-to-play game going on. Isn't that why there's big donors to each party? Buying influence?

So what's your point?

No wonder Clinton and other liberals who were so supportive of Obamacare and against price gauging and money hungry medical companies, but never said a word about this enormous price gauging!

When are we holding people responsible as the people who need this Epipen most likely can't afford this price gauging and money hungry CEO and daughter of a Dem. Senator who voted for Obamacare and against the money hungry pharmaceutical companies... except when a family is the CEO the Democrats are silent!
if trump did this they would call him hitler.

oh wait, they call him that anyway. nevermind.

Being a Clinton apologist is a dirty 24/7 job. I feel for all of you.

Think constructive of constructive solution, rather than drama spins.

Come on people, Think solution about how to fix corporate systems and other responsible methods to address things beyond pushing a lot of hot air around.

Exclamation Learning is a wonderful thing... when pursued

There is no pay to play, here's an link that may help one understand how Public Humanitarian Agenda and how Private Organizations and Foundations Agenda work in Accord with Commonality within Agenda People who have big money to donate should be responsible enough to find out if the Agenda of a Foundation mirrors the Agenda of a Nations Goals especially when it comes to Humanitarian concerns.

If any of you had millions to donate, be your a private person or an organization, if you are not responsible enough to "COMMUNICATE" to find out and figure out if the national agenda matches with the humanitarian concerns of private organizations before one gives their money to a private organizations one would be foolish, especially if you did not get this information and get it from a reliable source of what is the National Agenda. It is the individuals responsibility to learn and know what the private organizations agenda is, and it is not illegal to discuss the aims of either the nation/nations agenda, as well as that of the private organizations, and if they are in accord.........
If one did not do this research and communication, one would be foolish with their money and irresponsible with their donations. It's just that simple. Don't get lost in drama spins. "there is no pay to play, that is some delusional political gaming of ignorance promotion, to make such a claim. Ignorance finds a way to entertain the ignorant, therefore one should be wise enough to be discerning to gain understanding.


Understanding would certainly serve one well if it was actually pursued and embraced for the sake to be of understanding.

Learning is a wonderful things if people take the time to engage it.

Not many here would go give their money to any charity, until they know that charity's agenda, and they want to know if that agenda is in accord with any city, country, state, or national agenda... first.

Geez!!!! No wonder so many people get fleeced giving to organizations they have not vetted. It just goes to show that common sense is not so common. Therefore people need to learn and understand and gain perspective, that their claim of common sense has a perspective to understand what is commonality, before they claim to be using common sense.

If I want to give to a Charity that does global charity and humanitarian related services, you darn right I want to know not only what is our government doing, but I want to know what are the governments of the other nations I want to help doing, as well as the other nations that I am contributing in association with unto a organizations.

This Trump craziness of trying to mislead the uneducated and unaware, is astounding, No one should try and promote ignorance for the sake of political gain and drama making to promote their ego and egotistical aims.

Don't Join A Posse, if you don't know what its aims and goals are, nor what you are pursuing and why. We've seen the effects of blind driven posse's be demonstrated in the old western movies, and they often engage in unlawful acts, being driven by a loud mouth and a passion for drama.

Looks to me like you had some pressing desire to take a pot shot at them for doing something better than us.
So can you show a correlation between their "superior" health care system and longevity? Personally, I doubt it. A lot of their longer average life span has to do with genetics as well as a much different diet than we Americans.

Some of it does. Are you trying to argue that they do not have a good health care system? If not than you aren't disputing anything I said.

They control costs and have a good system where everyone can get health care.
