190 Words1 Page

Even if it helps the public to be informed of new medications or new equipment being used to help their disease processes. Does it benefit all parties in the long run? The downside of this scenario is for the providers and the physicians of these patients. What occurs is does not benefit the patient. For example, the patient now being

    This action taken by the government into the investigation of the monopoly of EpiPens has uncovered that Mylan has been misclassifying the EpiPens for years. Mylan was supposed to classify EpiPen as a single source (meaning brand name drug) which would require them to provide Medicaid rebate of 23.1% of the cost and inflation rebate, but instead they classified it as a generic version of a drug which only requires 13% Medicaid rebate of the cost and no inflation rebate (Mole). This may cause the government to give Mylan penalties, and it may cause the government to make claims on sales. The government is penalizing and criticizing Mylan for using the system incorrectly, and the government is supporting generic versions of EpiPens and different brands to come to the United States to stop the monopoly and increase competition. Although some patent laws created by the government have created an epinephrine auto-injector monopoly in the United States, the government is working now to eliminate this monopoly and penalize Mylan for using it to its

    Drug companies like Perdue, Cephalon, and Insys are focused more on marketing than patient care. It is alarming that these companies would rather push sales however possible and risk consequences like being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars. Something that really stood out to me was when the ex Insys employee spoke about what she and the company did by saying “uh huh” to when they were asked if a patient had cancer in order to not only push the sales of their drug(s) but to get insurance companies to pay for it (Oliver). In addition, if money is more important than the well being of others for these companies, how many more are just like them?
