It’s not a mystery why drug companies raise their prices to obscene levels. Just look at the multi-million dollar paychecks their CEOs get.
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.

They can't simply carry around a vial of Epinephrine and syringes around. Cost? About $6 to $10 a dose.
