If to extort = to wring money from people by abuse of authority, then Mylan and Pfizer are guilty of extortion. They see a life or death situation and quadruple the cost. Bless their corporate hearts.
"Anaphylactic Sticker Shock" by Terry J. Allen, In These Times http://inthesetimes.com/article/16951/anaphylactic_sticker_shock

If the U.S. government no longer wants to do business with Walgreens, perhaps it will buy drugs through Canada and save some money. For instance, a Mylan/Pfizer EpiPen costs $360 to $435 retail in the U.S. and it costs about $94 in Canada.
About Me
- Karen
- I started out as a baby. "I took it easy for a few years." At the age of 2 1/2 I became a lifelong pro bono facilitator. I gave up any painting aspirations in kindergarten. When twice that age, it was discovered that without glasses, my eyes aren't worth much. But, as the last person in my class to win a box of 5 fat crayons for coloring inside the lines, I gave up painting, and went into the world of reading, writing and humorous asides to supplement the pro bono work.The next project is learning how to cut and paste. It'll probably take years if I teach myself because one of us is not listening.
