Comments: In any normal system somebody would have made their own EpiPens and sold them for less.

After having several violent allergic reactions to mold and old dust my face would swell and stay that way for several days, closing my eyes.

I went to my allergist and she gave me a shot of something to counteract the allergy and then recommended that I buy, through prescription, a pair of epipens. I asked her what they cost and it was something close to $250 a pen, if I remember correctly. While that may not be the amount, the things were enormously expensive.

I passed and stayed on prednisone, dangerous enough in its own right, and benedryl.

There's a report out now that the R&D for this thing was 100% taxpayer funded. My wife got into pharmaceuticals a while back and is making a killing. I stayed in materials and other hard stuff and taking the losses to offset her gains.
