My wife spent over $950 today on 3 epipens

For our kids. When asking the pharmacist why the cost of them wad so much higher than last year (it's over double), the response was "we are seeing prices skyrocket with a ton of meds as a result of the ACA."

Is that something the pharmacists on the board have seen?If ao, one more reason to despise the albatross the ACA is becoming...

No way epi should cost that much. What a joke.

Is it non-insured consumers that are bearing the brunt?

Epinephrine in an injector ought to cost nearly nothing, sad.

It is 3 2-pin kits...one for each kid for school. Didn't mean to be unclear.

Honestly, it can't cost them more than $5 a pen

Nobody should be paying for the name brand epipen.
