You can't hold people, even politicians, responsible for family member's actions. Friends maybe, but you only have one family and you take the hand God dealt you.

End of story.

Wasn't really about the Senators Daughter.... that was just the first article I googled.

It was more about increasing her salary 671% and increasing the product cost 500% (as well as sending the stock price sky high).

I believe the political angle came from the fact that this sort of behavior is currently under scrutiny and congress is debating ways to regulate it.

Company had increased cost of allergy device to $600 for two shots

Mylan said it would take immediate action to cut the cost of its EpiPen emergency allergy shot following pressure from politicians including US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who called previous price increases “outrageous” on Wednesday.

Mylan will expand already-existing programmess to help people with high out-of-pocket expenses, according to a statement on Thursday.

Chief executive Heather Bresch was quick to respond to the mounting political scrutiny, days after US politicians started to express outrage about rising prices of the allergy shot and called for investigations.

The criticisms, topped by US Democratic nominee Clinton’s statement on Wednesday, had sent the shares down 11 per cent in just three days.

The stock pared some of the losses Thursday in early trading, and was up 3.7 per cent to $44.76 early on Thursday.

Customers will be able to get a 50% discount. But Madame President is not content.


Mylan's EpiPen discounts are 'insufficient' -Clinton spokesman

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Mylan NV's move on Thursday to expand discount programs for its EpiPen allergy treatment was welcome but not sufficient, a spokesman for U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said in a statement.

"Discounts for selected customers without lowering the overall price of EpiPens are insufficient, because the excessive price will likely be passed on through higher insurance premiums," Clinton campaign spokesman Tyrone Gayle said. "Since there is no apparent justification for the price increase, Mylan should immediately lower the overall price of EpiPens." (Reporting by Susan Heavey; Editing by Mohammad Zargham)

The common, mouth-breathing American likes reading/watching buffoonery and the ever-increasing idiocracy. Real, substantial and far-reaching change isn't sexy. But it matters.
