EpiPens

Why are you confident that Trump wouldn't be bought and paid for?

His entire life, he's spent enriching himself at the expense of everyone else (investors, contractors, etc.). Why would that change at all if he was elected to the White House?

Making money in legit business seems to somehow be something that is distasteful to liberals.  While the Clintons only way they have ever made money is quid pro quo.
Get the Gov to rule on this or that and you get some cattle futures or Tyson stock tips - yep she can do it
Need permits to cut down a rain forest - Hillary is on the case
Uranium to Putin - you got the right gal
Crown Prince needs access - just drop a couple Million into the Clinton Charity
I could go on with dozens more examples

She has been getting any with this foreverand is a career criminal.  the one thing I agree with Trump about is she is crooked.

Epinephrine is cheap, and available as a generic drug.  The delivery device (Epipens) require FDA approve.  Mylen, which bought the Epipen rights in 2007, has lobbyed the FDA to decline approval of competing delivery devices as too dangerous and risky. So Mylen retains monopoly pricing power.

Why hasn't the FDA allowed a competing product?  The natural incentive for increases is price gouging.  Most of the consumers have their health insurance pay for it. So consumers are insulated from the price increase shocks.

Legit business? Really?

I would not exactly call many of Trump's business practices legit.  He left a trail of people feeling angry and cheated with nearly every project he undertook.  When he built his casino in Atlantic City, he used small businesses to do the work, and then just didn't pay them, and since they didn't have the resources to fight them, they'd be forced to settle for pennies on the dollar of what he owed them.

Or Trump University.  He claimed that it would solve all your problems and make you rich.  His salesmen would tell people to max out their credit cards to pay for more of the "courses", when all the next one would tell you is that you need to pay for the one after that.

Back to Epipens. You can still buy them for about $100 here in the Hinterlands. That is in Hinterlandian money too. Different distributor (Pfizer) and apparently there are regulations in place to prevent price hikes like in the USA.
