EpiPen Image Gallery: Parents Share Price Points and Sticker Shock

For the last ten days, we have brought attention to the EpiPen pricing issue, as we have heard from parents around the country who are stunned with the new price of a product that has been around for 50 years, especially as they head back to school and find themselves needing to buy multiple sets to keep their children safe. Like the single mom who just shared this image: a $925 price tag for one set of EpiPens with coupon and insurance.

As we began to shine a light on this issue, images flooded in when we asked parents to share pictures of their receipts.  As one mom wrote, “I thought I was the only one.”  She isn’t, and with the food allergy epidemic in full force, she is joined by millions of parents who share her concern.
