EpiPen outrage: The US senator's daughter who raised price of anti-allergy medication by 400%
25 August 2016 - Sydney Morning Herald article on the current furore in the US fails to make note of the prices of EpiPen on the PBS.
Members of US Congress are in an unusual position as they demand an explanation for Mylan's 400 per cent price hike for the EpiPen and focus attention squarely on its CEO: Heather Bresch.
If politicians follow the usual script, Bresch could get called up to Capitol Hill next month to explain her company's justification for raising the price on the life-saving allergy shot. But that could be awkward, since she's the daughter of Democratic senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia.
