CEO Heather Bresch has been under fire in recent days for the outrageous drug price hikes her company, Mylan, has announced for the life-saving allergy drugs, EpiPens.
Now her political connections are under fire as well.
Each EpiPen injection, which help stop potentially fatal allergic reactions, cost just under $60 in 2007. Now, they now run $609, an approximately 450% increase in price in nine years.
As of May 2011, the price was $165. That rose to $350 in 2014 and $461 last year. A chart posted by CNBC gives a visual indication on just how high that is.
Stunning.
How did Bresch and Mylan get away with it? They got taxpayers to foot the bill.
Critics say Bresch, who is the well-connected daughter of West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, used lobbying efforts to get President Barack Obama to sign the School Access to Emergency Epinephrine Act, a move that financially pressured schools across the entire country to buy and maintain an annual emergency supply of epinephrine, the drug in EpiPens.
According to a White House press release in 2013, “The law makes an important change to the Children’s Asthma Treatment Grants Program and other federal asthma programs, which authorizes the Department of Health and Human Services to give funding preferences to states for asthma-treatment grants if they: maintain an emergency supply of epinephrine (EpiPens), if they permit trained personnel of the school to administer epinephrine, and if they develop a plan for ensuring trained personnel are available to administer epinephrine during all hours of the school day.“
In other words — A Democrat senator’s daughter got Obama to divert taxpayer money to schools, if the schools promised to buy drugs from a company she ran, critics say.
Business as usual in Washington, D.C.
Where does it go from there? In both Bresch’s and Democrat politician’s pockets.
Bresch has seen her salary at Mylan go from $2.4 million in 2007 to an eye-popping $18.9 million last year, analysis by NBC showed.
And she’s been busy with donations since, contributing chunks of cash to Obama’s election campaign in 2008, to the West Virginia Democratic Party in 2010, and according to The Daily Caller, “Clinton Foundation records show that Mylan has donated between $100,000 and $250,000 to the Foundation.”
Mylan — now in the crosshairs over the severe price hikes — announced today that it will expand programs that lower out-of-pocket costs by half… which is only double the drugs cost from five years ago.
Forgive us if we’re not impressed.

Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Jack there’s 2 more names that also should be added. Hitlery Killery ROTTON Ayatollah Khoemeni Clinton-the most evil, wicked,crooked,corrupt,greedy,selfish, egotistical,mean,venal, bullying,snotty,rude,arrogant,ruthless,murderous,
Lying,stealing,cheating,vote & election rigging woman in the entire universe.

Marcia says
Every ambulance has to carry 2 epipens for adults and 2 for children. Our fire company cannot afford to pay $2400 a year for these pins. After a year you have to throw away the pins as the meds in them are no good after a year.
So we will not be able to put the epic pins in our ambulances any longer. We have 2 ambulances and the cost not is out of range. They woman should be taken to the woodshed and beaten for being so greedy. She lives on 19 millon a year.
John says
Let’s get a way to have her and others who are caught doing this with the demos and Hillary reimburse the country by taking this money and putting it into a fund to help those on the drug.
Michael A. says
Makes sense, crooked Hillary she don’t care if kids die that’s how evil this woman is and some liberal too blind to see the kind of a ho trying to win their vote sick bitch.
Judy says
When are we all going to get smart and stop all of this? They all need to be thrown in jail. They are so corrupt.
Lori says
Completely right!! This needs to be stopped now.
Deborah Flynn says
Democrats have no souls or consciences either
jerimiah says
what difference does it make…Obama isn’t about to chastise his or Hillbilly’s actions..The libs can crap all over the taxpayers and the taxpayers scream “we want more crap, please more crap”. We will keep voting for democrats…
Oh thank you Hillbilly and Ocrapa
Aline says
The big problem in this country is …. you’re dealing with STUPID, CALLABLE dummies! Their heads are you know where! If she gets elected…we’re TOAST!!! What does it take to open eyes??
Chucky says
Liberals are born stupid! As they get older, you can educate them, but you can’t make them smart! Lose, lose situation!
Vee says
Will these crooks EVER stop!!?? And who can stop them? The drug companies are out of control. It’s too bad that many of us don’t get off some of these unnecessary drugs, statin drugs, for instance, that cause more damage than help.
Randall Thornton says
Unfricking real! I cannot believe how some people can be so greedy, they would let kids die to line their pockets. Sorry, I forgot. We are talking about Killary and her buddies. They all belong in jail along with their illegal boss Obumer. There is a jail down in Cuba that is still open, I think.
sandy jackson says
Everyone should realize, that karma is a bitch. i firmly believe, that what goes around , comes around, i am praying , that the lieing corrupt bitch never steps foot in the white house again , they stole furniture when they left when billy goy was in office, i saw on the net that ole billy boy , ha saids and has a year to live, see KARMA. I WILL VOTE FOR DONALD J TRUMP NOV THE 8TH, I TELL EVERY ONE TO VOTE ON NOV THE 8TH, I WAS IN THE GROCERY THIS MORNING AND I TOLD THE CASHIER TO VOTE I SAID I WAS VOTING AND SHE SAID I HOPE NOT FOR CLINTON, I SAID NO WAY , WAS I VOTING FOR THAT EVIL BITCH, EXCUSE MY FRENCH, LOL
R. Irvin says
my opinion of them can’t be printed here as I never use words like that on the internet
bandit30286 says
I can’t comment because I don’t know enough bad words to describe the BITCH
Jeanette says
I can’t find words bad enough to describe how evil they are!
We need some new words – could we find the names of Nazis in charge of death camps and start calling them by those names?
Harold says
Like the abortion industry they do not care one little bit about people’s lives. All of their middle names is ‘GREED’.!
Main Street says
Such hypocrites. In places like Manhattan, San Francisco and here in Boston, once self proclaimed “progressives” move into working class areas, rents triple in cost and soon the working class are displaced. Homelessness increases too. Liberals are supposed to care about others. Self appointed elitists overcharge for medicine and vote for their idol Hillary.
Victoria Barrett says
Their useful idiot, Hillary. She will grant favors, access, and guarantees for her buddies to line their pockets. Where was the charity in this woman. So many children with asthma live in the poor sections of the inner cities. .She could have set up low cost or free. clinics for those in need. Too greedy I guess. ‘I always wondered how anyone could collect an eighteen million dollar a years salary and still want more. How do you spend all that money? I feel the same way about Hollywood and sports. How did those salaries get so out of hand?. They make more for one movie or one game season than most people earn in a lifetime. It’s time America had a reality check.
jim kamees says
that’s coming nov 8th when oblowme is bounced out on his ASS!!!
I want the country back says
A reality check is needed,,,yes. Will it happen…no!
Susan Ifland says
Victoria, you are so right on. I have been saying that about sports and Hollywood so called “stars” for years. It is disgusting. But there is no one to blame but the people who put them on pedestals and pay the outrageous prices for tickets to see them. To get back to Hillary, the only thing she cares about is money and power. I am really afraid what will happen if she becomes President. So many people follow her like lemmings off a cliff. They absolutely believe everything that comes out of her mouth. They are deaf, dumb and blind. I know Trump isn’t perfect but I do believe he cares about people and this country. I am on the Trump train and hope and pray that he wins. If not, God help us all!
Lori says
Liberalism is a mental disorder. They don’t care for anyone except themselves. They also seem to only care about the most useless, filthiest, immoral people in the world such as the Elitists such as Hillary Clinton and Obama.
Jeanette says
Wanting to kill oneself is a mental disorder, and since most liberals won’t survive the country being changed into what they want (a communist country), then one could say that they have a mental disorder.
But I’m inclined to believe that all liberals except those with substandard intelligence are PLAIN OLD EVIL!!!
FerociousFlower says
Legalized extortion = Drug companies and their predatory tactics of FORCED use by taxpayer funded institutions (schools).
Heck, why stop there …Let’s DEMAND every employer – big and small – have these miracle drug-dosing gadgets on-site across the nation. It’s just a matter of time before they are MANDATORY within ALL Federal agencies, then it’s on to the corporations of America. Of course, we have the corrupt FDA writing “policy, law and guidelines” for it all to seamlessly fall into place.
The taxpayer once again is shafted, then shafted again as the consumer. Our politicians who are elected to thwart this corruption are the ringleaders behind the scenes, and pretend to be outraged when corruption percolates to the surface for all to see. How wonderful it is, that these extortionists are looking out for us. I’m feeling sooooooooooooo warm and fuzzy …you?
Jeanette says
Maybe Obamacare could force everyone to buy this drug, even if no one in their family needs it (just as it forces women past the age of childbearing to carry coverage for maternity costs).
I’m a little worried about posting this and giving the Evil Ones ideas, but since they spend 24-7 finding ways to make the middle class destitute, they have probably already added it to their list.
John G . says
If she’s a friend of Hillary the “Hun” nothing more needs to be said – C R O O K S all of them including Joe Manchin for raising a money grubbing Democratic monster rather than a well adjusted compassionate human being.
GenEarly says
If West VA keeps electing this Slug, Joe Manchin, then nothing will change for the better. It will only get worse with pay for play Hilarity as queen. All the Elitists CYA for their families on the public tax money, DemocRats are just better at it. Biden’s son has a sweetheart deal in Afghanistan, Hilarity and Bubba’s daughter gets millions from their Global Slush Fund, same for Harry Reid and family in NV., rather than continue this list, just name ONE DemocRat with clean hands.
CaptTurbo says
Glad i sold my shares of MYL years ago. Such a sleazy company!
Mae says
This whole country is not what it used to be. If these people had God, religion, and ethics in their lives, they would go on a guilt trip screwing the public like this. I hope our next president does something about the high cost of medications!!! Insulin is terribly expensive. They increase the cost of life saving drugs because we have no choice. Take it or you get sick and die. If a drug has been around for years, you would think the price would go down after a period of time!!! There is no generic for insulin.
EEL RIVER says
THIS ISNT THE ONLY CROOKED DRUG COMPANY TO PULL THIS, THE OLD SAYIN, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT BUY IT. AN QUIT SNIVELIN. IF ITS WORTH THAT MUCH IT MEANS THEY DONT REALLY WANT TO SELL IT. SO LETS JUST LEAVE IT ON THE SHELF AND LET THEM ENJOY IT! I FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT DISNEYLAND, A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED.
GenEarly says
Insulin isn’t equivalent to Disney. However your point on purchasing from Fascist Corporations is as valid as opposing their Marxist cousins in the Feral Gov.
EEL RIVER says
GEN EARLY
IF I READ THIS CORRECTLY IT WAS NOT INSULIN. IF IT WAS HOW WOULD THEY KNOW THE CORRECT DOSAGE, YOU MUST HAVE A BLOOD COUNT BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE INSULIN SAFELY, I THINK THIS PRODUCT IS FOR BREATHING AND ALLERGYS. AND I WAS MAKING A POINT THAT THE BOTH ARE A RIPOFF!
Michael A. says
Go away troll, make something useful instead of cap.
Robert says
YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT INSULIN, I FOUND THIS OUT HERE WHILE BACK, I HAPPENED TO BE IN AUSTEN, TX AND RAN OUT OF INSULIN. I CALLED MY DOCTOR AT THE V.A WHERE I SEEN REGULARLY. TOLD THEM WHAT WALMART WAS AT AND THEY CALL IN MT PRESCRIPTION AND THE LADY TOLD SIR YOU DON’T TO WAIT IF DON’T WANT TO SHE SAID THE INSULIN WAS ON THE SHELF RIGHT BEHIND ME AND SURE ENOUGH THERE IT WAS @ $25.00 ABOTTLE AND THE DRUGSTORE HAD BEEN CHARGING ME $125.00 FOR THE SAME BOTTLE THAT WALMART WAS SELLING FOR $25.00.
Jeanette says
GoodRx.com gives the best price for drugs. My husband used it to drop his prescription from $200 to $20 per month.
We are not affiliated with GoodRx.com, and it doesn’t charge for the service.
Jeanette says
I just re-read my comment, and I see that I need to clarify that GoodRx.com gives the names of the stores with the best prices for a drug; then you buy it from whichever store on the list suits you.
dee says
Pathetic pieces of excrement they are. No wonder our America has fallen to its knees
just because of these low lifes that harbor the money from us to stash in their pockets.
I hope to hell Trump when he becomes Pres. will straighten out all the fiasco the drug
companies are doing to the citizens. One disruption of what our country was 8 years ago
till now the lowest. People must take a stand. Vote with your brain, not your wanting some sick
individual corrupt and vile person to ever become president of America.
Marvin B. Cohen says
Just a typical greedy Leftist Liberal Democrat piece of slimy pond scum! Using the government coffers to get cash which she shares with her favorite elected Leftist Liberals. F**K THOSE CHILDREN!! this is her war cry! She makes Bernie Madoff into a benevolent American. Go, Donald – get the job and then do the job! End this corruption!
m. milano says
proving once again that the Lying bitch only cares to line her own pockets. cared not about anyone but herself. can’t even imagine how anyone would vote for this criminal. only place she belongs is in jail
Jack W. Haynes says
Like it or not, vote for Hilary means corruption will be taught in the schools
for generations to come. Shame on us!!!!
Don says
The 450% increase is incorrect. It’s more like 915%. Percent increase is calculated as [(new price – old price)/ old price]x100 = [($609 – $60)/$60]x100 = [$549/$60]x100 = 9.15×100 = 915%.
lizaz says
Where are other companies who can compete with this wretched individual???? Why does she have a monopoly on this lifesaving drug??? Might know she’s the daughter of a democrat, Joe Minchin. These people are disgusting sub-human beings!!!!
Joyce says
Schools to stock and use EpiPens, and they’re not allowed to administer aspirin!

It’s Incredible how much Greed the left has . They preach they are for the people but Reality they are For Themselves ! Look at obummas vacation spending alone . MUCH higher than previous presidents , and the in – law and friends get to be included on Our Dime . All his and hitlerys talk is Bullshit . And they’re working for a new world order , NOT to preserve Our Constitution . Everyone get informed . To Preseve

Gail Doyle says
I am not surprised at all.. Hillary wants that top position so badly you can see the spittle run out of the corner of her mouth. Talk about corruption.. with holding medication to citizens that includes children. Allergies can be fatal if not controlled by medication in many cases. I guess she gained a political contribution from her crony. Favor for Favor..
Sharon says
Did anyone expect anything different from the lieing clintons !
Tweeter says
Quid-pro-quo to quid-pro-quo. This is how the democrat party run our government. Those lobbyist under a lucrative agreement with Obama or Clinton are allowed enormous amounts of profits, at the expense of the lives of taxpayers. As the Obama and the Clinton’s surge their pockets, the sails of the lobbyist makes 560% more profit to share among each other. America, who pay the price? But the suffering taxpayers especially the poor peoples’ lives.
Crazy elf says
This sounds just like what occurred in the “Teapot Scandal” of the early 1920’s!
Research it and judge for yourself!
The “contracts” may not be illegal. Yet, the “transference of monies to enrich” is!
Crazy elf says
Get the movie/documentary “Hillary’s America”!
Then y’all will understand the democratic party! How it began with Andrew Jackson. All the way to the Obama administration! Corruption, Greed, Graft and a myriad of other negative adjectives being deployed by our elected and appointed officials on almost a daily basis!
The Texan says
This mess speaks for itself!
CarmenB says
Of course this is outrageous – but it goes deeper than this one medication and this particular drug company and CEO. There are many additional life saving drugs that are essential to many citizens, men and women alike. For example, some of the drugs needed by MS patients – terribly expensive without which, the person suffers increasing symptoms and often, debilitating pain.
Part of the problem comes from government involvement – then the taxpayer is on the hook for all the increased charges. Another example, the Obama administration took over $500 billion from Social Security to set up Obamacare – and now that it is failing, prices and premiums are increasing and insurance companies that have provided coverage are also promised to be “made whole” by the government – ie, the taxpayer! And our debt goes up and up! Our salaries remain stagnant and many still do not have jobs – due to the policies of our government.
They are suppose to help in these types of cases – some are dishonest, like Hillary – and others just incompetent!
Sean Mansfield says
I say, “Off With Their Heads!” We have constitutional right to defend ourselves from such corruption. We need to stand together and take back our country from the corrupt and greedy.

We don’t need an evil, wicked,venal, mean,unhealthy Figurehead & former Figurehead in the WH. My vote is for Donald J. Trump

Clinton not the only dumboRAT guilty of padding the pockets of a peer demonRAT’s family. Dig a little deeper and find out that our illustrious, lying, political monster (a poor excuse for a man and a president) Barack Barry Hussein Sotero Ovomit also gave the DemocRAT Senator’s kid a financial boost with another of his self aggrandizing executive orders. Everything these greedy fuckers do is designed to gather them fame, wealth, power and fuck the public to death. They don’t give a shit about us. The feeling is likewise I could care less about Odumbo, Hildabeast, Joe Manchin, Heather, Bubba, Lynch, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Jackson, Sharpton, etc etc etc If any of their names appeared in the obit’s, time to yawn, stretch and turn the page. Actually there may be a mild celebration, in the form of another treasonous traitor no longer trying to destroy our country.
jerimiah says
I am a Democrat and I love what this administration is doing. They are crapping all over the taxpayer and they, the taxpayer loves it..We libs will vote for Hillary etc. as long as they keep on crapping all over the taxpayer…I am not a taxpayer, I am on welfare and
I receive housing allowance and food stamps. Give it to them hardworking, taxpayers Hillary and Obama..

jermiach, you are a first class idiot, do you think the lieing corrupt evil bitch cares about you ? no her and obozo only care about themselves, look at the people in lousiana , TRUMP went there with 18 wheelers loaded with supplies, where was obozo and hiliary? obozo was still vacationing, and the liar was napping to get her rest, they dont care about americans or america, they should move to another country, perhaps , one in the middle east, since they get donation from these countries.
EEL RIVER says
DONT WORRY YOUR FREEBIE BREAD LINE IS ABOUT TO DRY UP, WAIT UNTIL ALL THE SYRIANS GET THEIR SHARE, THEN YOU WILL KNOW HOW WE FEEL.
Kay says
What most people don’t realize is that these Epi-Pens have to be thrown away in one year! I take allergy shots and have to have a two-pack of them on hand every time I take my shots..every other day. Now, I’ve never had to use one of them (thank goodness!), but next month, I have to purchase another set “just in case” I ever need them!!! Not to mention the fact that there is only ONE dose in each pen!!! The price is ridiculously high, even through insurance!
This shows the greed of the Democrats of today! Heaven help us if Hitlery is elected in November, because none of this will change!

With hiliary in office , things will get much worst, she does not care about americans, only her and ole billy boy, vote TRUMP nov 8th. for change. for the good.

How long are we going to read about ALL the crooked dealings and more lies each and every day involving clinton before she is taken to task and held accountable for her actions. Each and every day, for months, we read about her lies and crooked actions and nothing or no one is nailing her to the cross. Either burn her “fat ass” or quit talking about her period. Obviously the obama administration controls the FBI, what’s new . I’m sick and tired of seeing her “pants suits” on tv every day. No wonder BILLY boy screws around on her. Could you jump into bed with her????
richard churchill says
most, over 95% of Clinton Foundation money goes to Hillary and Bill.

Truth to HKRAKC is a felony offense. Truth, honesty, kindness are cancerous diseases to HKRAKC & former Figurehead Sleazeball, draft dodger Bill Clinton.

Justin W says
Maybe Congress should repeal the law that gives EpiPen a favored status with schools. This woman and her company should be outed. Every donation to a politician or their foundation should be made public. Keep in mind many of her enablers are the same people who forced Obamacare on the nation. Like most Democrat proposals, Obamacare was sold to the working class as a way to make their lives better. In reality Obamacare has been turned into a way to reward donors to Democrat/liberal causes.
The EpiPen law should be repealed and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) should also be shut down. This is what we get when corrupt politicians are given power.
Charles Masterson says
The reason they are not in jail is because the American People have not had enough of them yet !!! Contact your lawmakers and raise HELL, contact them more than once, stay on them and then DO NOT VOTE FOR THE LYING! DRUNK! STEALING! MURDERING A*S HITLERY CLINTON !! AND RAISE HELL ABOUT GEORGE SOROS AND WARREN BUFFETT BUYING ELECTIONS !!!
The Fox says
Hillary Dillary Dyke is all about money and power and won’t turn down a cent from anyone who bows at her feet as if she was a queen and she is the seed of satan himself.
Ernst says
West Virginia should be ashamed of itself, electing Joe Manchin to Congress so that he could steal from us. These Democrats are sleazy thieves. Even worse, the company that makes the overpriced Epipens, Mylan, is based in Netherlands with “operational headquarters” in Britain. The US headquarters is in Canonsburg, PA, so none of the money from this family theft comes back to West Virginia. Nepotism and virtual embezzlement like this may not be illegal, but it sure is wrong.
My family comes from West Virginia, and it hurts me to see this. Throw out Joe Manchin.
Jorge Badillo says
Charles Masterson, most, not all, but most of this lawmakers in congress/senate are themselves so corrupted and compromised with so much dirty laundry that obama,s corrupt government have them by their balls, and if they dare to try to say something or anything against them, all they have to do is squeeze a little and that will shut them off.
The love of money and power is so strong that they will sell their mama for a dime on the spot without thinking twice about it, and the only way to bring back sanity to this nation is to pray to God for wisdom, and return to good moral values, enforce not only the laws of this nation’s constitution, but local, state and federal laws. It all starts at home with stable families, education, and discipline. Hang in there brother and don’t give up.
Politically incorrect says
This is never going to stop because until the richest people in power decide that they made enough money then they will start to crack down on this kind of thing, but because they will never have enough money it will continue.
Besides trying to get the democrats out won’t happen because the only ones supporting Trump are middle classes uneducated white men ( at least that is what the media is telling everyone. I use to be proud of my masters degree but since the college educated are supporting Hillary means the college educated are retarded, or at least that is the way I look at it.

HEATHER BRESCH, DROP DEAD! (for what you are doing to others)
Paul Fishman says
CEO Heather Bresch is forerunning for the Clinton’s Campaign ahead of time for dictatorial reign on the US population. She is extorting moneys from families to help their children with deadly alergies to die without their needed remedy. Heather Bresch is taking that increased costs from EpiPen to line the pockets of the Clinton Foundation. This IS the future of what Clinton has for families and children. IF they are NOT approved by the Government to be born, then children will either be aborted in the womb, killed off at birth or denied health care when they are older so they would be terminally ill and die. This IS the population Global Warming Control Initiative of the coming Clinton Communist Dicatorship if foolishly elected by deceived Americans.
MalcolmX says
DON’T overlook the fact this loser is Senator Joe Manchin’s daughter;; liberal corruption runs deep FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL TO THE “CLINTONS” and 52% of stupids want more of this shit666.
Keifer says
Just another low life POS drug company CEO out to screw over Americans. She should be locked away for at least 75 years.
Robert says
I saw a news report that stated the cost of the epinephrine (the actual medication) in each EpiPen was $3.00.
For a pack of two pens Mylan charges approximately $610.00. Therefore, Mylan charges more than 100 times the actual cost of the drug (epinephrine) in the two pens ($3.00 * 2 = $6.00). I do not know the cost to manufacture the mostly plastic injector, but the cost to manufacture plastic injectors most certainly is negligible. At $60.00 for two EpiPens, Mylan is making a vast profit! At $610.00, Mylan is making a killing. CEO Heather Bresch is West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin’s daughter. She said in an interview that she is a mother and wants access to health care for kids — as if this CEO who made nearly $19 million has to worry about access to health care for her own children. Look up how she claimed she had earned an MBA from WVU when she had not. Do a search for businessinsider.com: “The CEO of EpiPen maker Mylan once claimed she had an MBA that she never earned.” She lies; she gouges. Why wasn’t she Hiallry’s running mate? It would have been a perfect match!

Charging $600 for EPI-Pens is criminal especially when it involves children and adult lives. The EPI-Pens potency expires in one year. Each allergic reaction becomes more severe each time. Think of children allergic to peanuts and food allergies. Mylan contributes to the Democratic Party so it is time to kick Hillary to the curb with her Washington cronies.

Let’s not forget that Obamacare imposes a special tax for medical devices; Obama would have taxed the crutches of children crippled by polio if he had been president during that epidemic.
This is what Democrats DO, but it’s also what Republicans have allowed them to do for decades.
I will be voting for Trump, and if he gets into office, let’s see if some of the first things he does are: Unseal Soetero-Obama’s records (using whatever his real name is) and investigate anything in those documents that warrants investigation; do a real investigation into Hillary’s involvement in corruption in at least the Benghazi and State Department security breach matters.

The Mylan CEO is a liberal who fully supported Obamacare. If you look at most all of those making money off of Obamacare, they are liberals who helped push socialized medicine in order to cash in on government (taxpayer) dollars! They do not really care about the health or safety of people.
This is also true of the green energy sector. Does Solyndra come to mind? Create a fictional calamity that liberals can cash in on. Obama and Clinton are in on it all and making a ton of cash from kickbacks. Most of the windmill generator companies are owned by liberals.
The Clinton Foundation is a money laundering scheme from these illicit scams.
