EpiPen gets a new rival: Auvi-Q. Its pricing scheme will blow your mind
Meg Tirrell 20 hours ago (Posted here 1:15 P.M., 01 20 2017).
Competition for the EpiPen keeps mounting.
"The talking auto-injector competitor to Mylan's billion-dollar allergy attack remedy, the Auvi-Q, will return to market Feb. 14, manufacturer Kaleo said Thursday. The price? A whopping $4,500 for two auto-injectors.
But not so fast, Kaleo said. It guarantees a cash price of $360 for two auto-injectors. Plus it will offer a program it calls Auvi-Q AffordAbility that guarantees U.S. patients with commercial insurance will have no out-of-pocket costs for the devices, plus free product for those who don't have insurance and have a household income of less than $100,000.
It's an example of the complicated economics that govern drug pricing".
There is another supplier who is advertising at about $109.00 for the two shot injector system. I noted this one a few weeks back:
"The Auvi-Q isn't the only competition Mylan's now facing for its biggest product. Last week, CVS (CVS) made a deal with Impax Laboratories (IPXL) to sell another epinephrine auto-injector, the Adrenaclick , for a cash price of $109.99 at its pharmacies".
I want to be very clear that I am NOT advocating for any of the three and because of the way MyLan via Ms. Bresch (nee Manchin), handled this would consider the other two first if needed? It seems that MyLan stock has dropped 26% since August, so it is paying a price for its Corporate behavior? Still no one in jail?
And, I really don't know how many of the folks in this area of the State would even need the system? But seems we are allergic to just about anything and everything these days? So if only one person can benefit from this, I will feel it is space well spent.
In any case, go to the above article, read it and of course make your own decisions.
Watched for a bit, the Inauguration of Mr. Trump on Friday. We will now see what he can do for the Country? He has a tough slough ahead of him. Can not see him fixing all that is needed in four years? This Country was used so badly by the Obamaites as to be a Sin if such a thing can be called? It is the SAME that was, is and will be done in Mr. Obama's third term here under the direction of Obamalite Mr. Rapp.
And here is a bit of trivia that should surprise few:
U.S.Forbes
The States People Are Fleeing
Forbes Thu, Jan 19 4:00 AM PST (Posted here 2:00 P.M., 01 20 2017).
"West Virginia is number 7 on the list of 10 States where people are leaving faster than moving in".
Can Mr. Justice begin to turn the above around? Of course time will as in most things out the Truth.
I would like to see something going on that will help the folks here.
There was a report that Ohio Valley University (OVU), has purchased property in Vienna for a Fuel Liquification Plant if I got the name correct? Now this was "supposedly" going on project for the past couple of years and ended up going to P'Burg down on 29th St., area. Has OVU again gotten involved in the upper Johns Manville Site? Would be a nice thought, but still not any close date for using that part of the property. In fact, Mr. Harris had to ask at the 19 January Special Council Meeting if he could begin the magic one mile walking path in the lower part? Of course was the reply from Mr. Thornton. I am still suspicious that the land is being developed as an Industrial Site Remediation instead of a Residential Site as the requirements are so much lower.
They are just so damn sneaky all the time? 'nuff said'.
