If the product is so expensive, and someone can make a competing product for less viably I find it hard to believe that it hasn't been done. A more fair comparison would be "medical aid which wasnt subjected to the same regulations and testing is cheaper to make and distribute" aka Corporate greed.


Not sure how that's greed as much as a case of too much regulation.

Companies exist to make a profit, why are we getting upset when they do so within the confines of law? Here, the law allows for lobbying and high regulatory burden which creates a monopoly for EpiPen.

I don't expect public shaming to reduce corporations from seeking profit. I do have great hopes for reforming laws to incentivize competition so that the desire for profit benefits us all.
