Daughter of Sen. Manchin raises EpiPen price 400%

NY Times sez that a generic may be out by next year, so yeah, it's a good old fashioned money grab

Funny how people are okay with insurance companies doing this, but if someone suggests the government do so (that's what "negotiating drug prices" for Medicare would mean), people throw a fit and rant about MUH DEATH PANELS.

I'm a little confused about what you are accusing him of here.  Getting his daughter a data entry job?

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

It's worth noting that when she got her first job with Mylan, Joe Manchin was a WV state senator who'd only been in office for a few years. He was not powerful or influential enough to actually do anything to make that a genuine "quid pro quo" situation. From what I've read, it sounds like he knew someone who worked at Mylan from before he became an elected official and that person suggested her for the job.
