While we are fighting over the epi-pen, can someone please bring inhalers up as well

simple albuterol inhalers, which used to cost $10 are now $60 WITH insurance.

This is far more nefarious as it is something asthmatics use multiple times a week and usually need a spare or two around. The companies that make this PURPOSELY asked to be removed from the CFC exemption list so they could up their price.

It is outrageous they get away this!

I just bought him one yesterday. I did think it was a little high, but not too bad. I would think $60 is expensive.
