While Americans are dying because they can't afford Mylan's egregious drug prices, the company’s CEO got a 671% raise to over $18 million.

It’s not just EpiPens. Mylan has raised prices more than 20% on 24 medications, and more than 100% on seven medications.
-
The quality of Mylan’s drugs isn’t improving, but the company thinks it is acceptable to quadruple their prices.
-
They increased the price of ursodiol, a generic medication used to treat gallstones, 542%.
-
They increased the price of metoclopramide, which is commonly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, 444%.
-
Dicyclomine, a drug used to treat irritable bowel syndrome, had its price jacked up by 400%.

Something is very, very wrong when drug companies value their profits over the lives of their customers.

It is time to enact prescription drug policies that work for everyone, not just the CEOs of the pharmaceutical industry.
