      Today's announcement of the first FDA-approved generic version of EpiPen represents meaningful progress for American patients, and is good news for everyone who needs access to life-saving treatments for severe allergies. http://go.usa.gov/xUMEu

      This announcement also speaks to a broader trend. @US_FDA has outlined a Drug Competition Action Plan (DCAP) which is meant to speed approvals and increase competition. As a result, just this July, they approved a record number of generic drugs for a month, at 126.

      As part of DCAP, we’ve highlighted all the instances where, as with EpiPen, there is a drug that is no longer patent protected but doesn't face any generic competition, and laid out guidance to help speed the approval of complex generics. http://go.usa.gov/xUHDY

      This is just one strategy of our blueprint to put American patients first. The men and women of @HHSGov are continuing to look at every facet of our programs, authorities, and spending to improve the health and well-being of every American.https://www.hhs.gov/drugpricing

          According to most accounts you are lying to the American people! Wrecking affordable health care! How do you sleep at night? Greed, dishonesty & working for a deranged man are not attractive & hope you have a good attorney when they come for you.

          Perhaps you can start with explaining why you are all praising a $300 epinephrine pen out of $8 of materials.https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/01/epipen-outrage-silicon-valley-engineers-figure-true-cost-to-make-lifesaving-auto-injector-about-10/ …

          If you really want to put patients first, get the market out of health care! In a market-based system, that which has the most value commands the highest price. Since lifesaving drugs and treatments have the highest value, companies will continue to bankrupt patients!
