News Post Cycle 3

This Epipen issue has just came into debate recently due to the owning company Mylan N.N. increasing the price for a two pack of Epipens from 100, to 600. Many have prompted the government to take action against this but the problem is that it is completely legal for the company to do that, its just part of the capitalist society that we live in. Government groups such as congress are putting heat on Mylan for doing this, but i believe that they can pressure the company but shouldnt be able to force them to change anything. Forcing them to change would take away the freedom of the capitalist society we live in, and could prompt many changes like that in the future. The company should eventually realize how they are losing sales in the United States, due to people driving to other countries such as Canada where the prices are lower. Either way the company should be able to do what they want, as we do live in a free society.
