Female greed kills children
Mylan CEO infuriates lawmakers at hearing on EpiPen costs
MARY CLARE JALONICK 11 hours ago .
WASHINGTON (AP) — Mylan CEO Heather Bresch infuriated lawmakers as she tried — and mostly failed — to explain steep cost increases of her company's life-saving EpiPens.
Outraged Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday grilled Bresch about the emergency allergy shot's sky-high price and the profits for a company with sales in excess of $11 billion. The list price of EpiPens has grown to $608 for a two-pack, an increase of more than 500 percent since 2007.
In almost four hours of questioning, the soft-spoken CEO at times seemed unsure, or declined to answer directly, when asked questions about the company's finances and profits, angering lawmakers.
"You could make this thing go away by being honest and candid but I don't think you are," House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, told Bresch as he ended the hearing. Afterward, he told reporters he thought she created more problems with her vague testimony.
The frustration was bipartisan. Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the oversight panel, compared Bresch's answers to a game of "hide the ball."
Defending the company's business practices, Bresch said she wishes Mylan had "better anticipated the magnitude and acceleration" of the rising prices for some families.
"We never intended this," Bresch said, but maintained that her company doesn't make much profit from each emergency allergy shot and signaled the company has no plans to lower prices.
Families who rely on multiple EpiPens to respond when their children have allergic reactions, whether at home, school or sporting events, have lashed out at Mylan in a growing public outcry. Bresch blamed the furor partly on the complexity of drug pricing.
In response to one question, Bresch acknowledged she made $18 million in salary last year.
"Sounds like you're doing pretty well on this," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla.
Chaffetz, said high executive pay at Mylan "doesn't add up for a lot of people" as the EpiPen price has increased. He said executives for the company made $300 million over five years while the list price for a pair of the allergy shots rose.
"Parents don't have a choice," Chaffetz said. "If your loved one needs this, it better darn well be in your backpack."
Bresch, who displayed an EpiPen, said the company makes only approximately $50 in profit on each shot. But Chaffetz said he finds that "a little hard to believe."
EpiPens are used in emergencies to stop anaphylaxis, the potentially fatal allergic reactions to insect bites and stings and foods like nuts and eggs. People usually keep multiple EpiPens handy at home, school or work, but the syringes, prefilled with the hormone epinephrine, expire after a year.
The company says it has distributed tens of thousands of free shots to schools and raised awareness of deadly allergies. That requires investment, Bresch said.
The Mylan executive has some familiarity with Capitol Hill — she is the daughter of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. But lawmakers so far haven't given any deference to her, and several other committees have called for investigations into the price increase.
Bresch noted that Mylan has said it will begin selling its generic version for $300 for a pair. That will still bring Mylan tens of millions of dollars in revenue while helping retain market share against current and future brand-name and generic competition.
The company has also offered coupon cards and has doubled the limit for eligibility for its patient assistance program. But critics have said the coupons, discount cards and patient assistance programs aren't real solutions because many customers won't use them or won't qualify for them.
Republican Rep. Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, a physician, told Bresch that she was "trying to make us feel good" about the generic version and other programs, but that he doesn't feel good about it.
"A mother would cut off her right arm to get that drug. You chose to charge her $600 instead of cutting off her arm," DesJarlais said. "Lower the price so they can afford it."
Last year, more than 3.6 million U.S. prescriptions for two-packs of EpiPens were filled, according to data firm IMS Health. That brought in sales of nearly $1.7 billion for Mylan, though the company says it receives about $1.1 billion after rebates and fees paid to insurers, distributors and other health care businesses.
In the Senate, leaders of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' investigations subcommittee said earlier this month that they have begun an inquiry into the company's pricing and competition practices. The Aging Committee requested briefings on the issue, and Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has written several letters to Mylan demanding answers.

I have always been told that women are the nurturing gender. That they value life more than us war hungry men do as they would put it. Not only that but we're told that women would never place a child's life in danger. After all greed is a male thing right? Brought upon us by the patriarchy? Right? Not so. It appears that women are not the angels they told us they were. No,it appears that is not the case. It now appears that they are capable of pissing off not only both houses of Congress at the same time but this one has also pissed off both parties simultaneously as well.

Senate votes to require women to register for the draft
The United States Senate voted to pass a defense bill today that would require young women to sign up for a potential military draft for the first time in U.S. history. The vote was 85-13 in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, a $600 billion defense spending bill that had a host of other controversial provisions in it, including prohibiting the closure of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and denying the Pentagon’s attempt to close military bases.
Republicans were divided about whether the U.S. should require women to register for the draft when they turn 18. Sen. Ted Cruz told Politico it was a “radical change that is attempting to be foisted on the American people,” while Sen. John McCain said “a large bipartisan majority on the Armed Services Committee agreed that there is simply no further justification to limit Selective Service registration to men.”
The Senate and the House will now meet to compare and resolve differences between the two versions of the defense spending bill. The House version does not have the female draft requirement in it.

I love this. I am loving it. It's about time women did their fair share and not heap burdens upon men and men only. Let's send a "atta boy" to Senator John McCain and tell him he's right. The burden should not be upon men and men alone. On the other hand,I am disappointed in Senator Ted Cruz for taking the position he did. Perhaps we should remind him that selective service is a burden that is already heaped upon men whether they like it or not so requiring women to fulfill the same requirements that men are forced to do is not much of a stretch. The country can handle it.

Let's call Congressman Duncan Hunter on his move to exclude women from the draft
First Congressman Duncan Hunter introduces an amendment that requires women to sign up for selective service then he votes against it. I'm tired of these bullshit moves by misguided stupid traditionalists. I'm tired of this. Hunter faces reelection in November. If this is how he is going to treat us men then I say we vote for his Democratic opponent. The Democrats have no problem including women in the draft and I fully support them on this. Assclowns like Hunter have to go. If you live in his district you can email him and tell him that he pulled a bullshit move. You can also contact your own Representative if you live outside Hunter's district. What Hunter did was a bullshit move by violating the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and he needs to be called out on it so contact your Representative right away.

Sounds good. It seems that the feminasties are going for it again and we have to stop them. No problem we can do that so let's do it to it. It might also be a good idea to get in touch with Congressmen John Boehner and Eric Cantor and let them know how we feel about this They are the Republican leadership in the House so it's a good idea to let them know as well.

Tell Congressman John Boehner to oppose S. 1925
From SAVE service:
Even though the 112th Congress adjourned without reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, VAWA is still very much in the picture.
As you may remember, last year the Senate passed their reauthorization of VAWA, S 1925. Not satisfied with the Senate's bill, the House passed their own version.
Then we had a standstill. There were reports that they were trying to come to a last minute agreement, but it didn't happen.
Immediately following the adjournment, supporters of S 1925 started pressuring the House to vote on the Senate version of VAWA. But why should they? They've already approved a reauthorization of VAWA - HR 4970.
We believe that if persons in the Senate sincerely want to pass VAWA, they should put HR 4970 to a vote in the Senate.
Please call House Speaker John Boehner TODAY.
Call: 202-225-6205
Say: "Do not agree to the ridiculous demand to schedule a vote on the Senate VAWA bill, S. 1925.
We have worked hard to reform VAWA. Let's not let all of our hard work go to waste!

Let's contact Congressman Boehner and tell him to oppose S. 1925. The more of us he hears the better so let's contact him right away.

This week is the beginning of our "What Happened to the Presumption of Innocence?" campaign. And we're starting right out of the gate with a 24-hour call to action.This week is the beginning of our "What Happened to the Presumption of Innocence?" campaign. And we're starting right out of the gate with a 24-hour call to action.
Today is a Day of Action for some victim advocates, with calls and tweets asking for reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). We're not so quick to jump on that bandwagon, because VAWA is not ready to be reauthorized. It still has many provisions that strip the presumption of innocence from the accused.
See our recent press release for more details:click here
Let's have our own 24 Hours of Action! For the next 24 hours*, call both your Senators and your Representative at 1-202-224-3121. You can also find your Senators' phone numbers and your Representative's phone number
Or you can go to their websites and send email. Whichever is easier.
Simply say "Don't pass VAWA until the presumption of innocence is restored!"
THIS IS IMPORTANT. I KNOW THAT WE CAN DO THIS!

*Feel free to keep calling beyond the 24-hours.

How many more men need to be sacrificed on the altar of feminism before it is "enough"? How many men's souls crushed before it is "enough"? How many gallons of men's blood is the matriarchal queen going to gorge before she has had "enough"? That is why it is up to us men to not just say "enough" but to actually mean it.

Let's make Zoe Lofgren apologize for her remarks about SAVE
From SAVE services:
I'm learning that politics is a lot like sales; people will say what they need to say to close the deal. Yesterday, that practice hit a little too close to home.
During the May 8, 2012 mark-up of the House Judiciary Committee, Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) made unfounded, scurrilous, and false statements regarding Stop Abusive and Violent Environments and Natasha Spivack, a member of the SAVE Board of Directors. See: here
SAVE, who are not a group of "apologists for abusers," has demanded that Rep. Lofgren retract her remarks about SAVE, issue an apology to Natasha, and begin to work for ways to stop false allegations of domestic violence. As of this writing SAVE has not received a reply, so we're asking for your help.
Call Rep. Lofgren (202) 225-3072 and repeat the same demand: Retract your remarks about Stop Abusive and Violent. Environments (SAVE) Issue an apology to Natasha Spivack.
Work for ways to stop false allegations of domestic violenc For our Natasha, and for every single falsely accused person who is being denied by the current system, please call.

We may be hitting a nerve. Lofgren has been described as a feminist and like most feminists they are not used to being stood up to and like most bullies they don't like it. Let's contact her office and demand she apologize to those she has offended with her callous words. Let's do it right away.
