Lucas,
For the millions of Americans with severe allergies, an EpiPen isn’t
a luxury – it’s a necessity.
But over the past several years, Mylan, the maker of EpiPen, has hiked
the price for this lifesaving drug from roughly $55 per pen to more than
$600 per pack, gouging consumers to turn a profit.
It’s despicable that Mylan is putting Americans’ lives at risk
just to increase their bottom line. I’m standing with my colleagues
in Congress to demand that Mylan make EpiPens affordable, but we need
your voice with ours.
Sign the petition to speak out against Mylan’s price gouging!

Mylan has a virtual monopoly on the EpiPen auto-injector, leaving parents
with nowhere else to turn when the prices start to climb. And severe allergies
aren’t just a problem for young children: Seniors are also put at
risk by skyrocketing EpiPen prices.
Too many Americans are facing an impossible choice for themselves or their
children: pay for a medicine they can’t afford, or risk a life-threatening
allergic reaction.
It’s wrong, plain and simple.
Our collective outrage has already forced Mylan to take some steps to
make EpiPens more affordable, but Mylan still refuses to lower the price further.
Now we need to keep raising our voices to demand Mylan make this lifesaving
medicine affordable. Sign the petition today.
Add your name: Tell Mylan to make EpiPens affordable!
Thanks for speaking out,
Xavier Becerra
Chairman of the House Democrats
