Consumers complained after EpiPen maker Mylan
"hiked the price of the emergency
auto-injector by $100 in recent months for no
obvious reason. ... The price has
increased 450 percent since 2004, when a dose
cost $100 in today's dollars, to its
current price of more than $600. ... The
medication itself isn't expensive. Analysts
calculate that the dosage contained in a single pen
is worth about $1."
