Uplifting News - it does exist
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.
