I had heard about this issue before on the news and now after reading this blog post I decided to do a little bit of research on the subject. Some of the statistics and prices I found completely baffled me. The current price for an EpiPen in the U.S. is about 600 dollars wish is nearly nine times the price for the exact same product in Canada or the U.K. The price difference was so extreme that I ended up taking the time to muse myself and compared the prices of buying EpiPens in the States and flying from my home state (Washington) to the U.K. to buy EpiPens and found out that as long as you buy at least two EpiPens it is actually cheaper to go to Europe. It is honestly ridiculous and when you see that it costs about 20 dollars to make an EpiPen, there is no reasonable for the prices.

Great research. How about if we just paid the $40 for UPS to ship the EpiPens from Canada?
