Epi-pen Price Increase
 I believe that anybody who needs any type of drug for aid should be able to access it and afford it. After reading this article I do believe this is a health care issue that should be fixed. 
There should be price limits put in place so that the average citizen could receive the medicine needed or be provided with financial support. The private companies who own the patients should charge a price fair for everyone. After all, these medications are saving lives. I believe that the company should continue to do business and the CEO should be removed as punishment for her greedy actions. With a new qualified CEO the company could reduce the price to its original state and continue to run the company. I think that the government should get involved with companies relating to the country's health care. They could place laws that would prevent price increases in medicines and other life saving products.
