Uplifting News - it does exist

[borlandia]

The U.S. health care system pretty much sucks, but there's some encouragement from time to time.

Despite turds like Martin Shkreli trying to fleece people on medicine to keep them alive, the market eventually corrects itself and makes life easier.

Note that this product has existed for some time, it just got the price slashed even further.

It isn't common knowledge, but "Epipen" isn't an actual drug name - it's a product name. Alternatives to these jacked-up name-brand products do exist, they're just not as well-known due to lack of marketing, and that the generic brands don't have the clout to go into doctors' offices and offer them a truckload of cash to prescribe the name brand directly.

Small encouragement to start the day.

That's amazing!!! I know that EpiPens save a lot of lives, but God forbid we have to use them...! ^_^ Generics aren't too bad. I mean they're a lot more affordable, sure, but it really depends on what the brand is.
