Back in August of 2016 , the pharmaceutical company Mylan came under fire for jacking up prices of the EpiPen from $ 57 in 2007 to roughly$600 in 2016 . The public backlash has been significant . But the chairman of Mylan has a content for any critics : Go fuck yourself .
Well , at least that ’s what we think he say . The New York Times has a new clause about the fact that prices for the live - saving allergic reaction medication have n’t actually amount downsince last year . And the clause has a rather strange way of describing the attitude of Mylan chairman Robert Coury .
This is how the New York Times describes Coury ’s chemical reaction to critics of Mylan’sprice gouging :
Mr. Coury reply that he was untroubled . He raised both his midway fingers and explained , using colourful language , that anyone knock Mylan , including its employee , ought to go copulate with themselves . Critics in Congress and on Wall Street , he say , should do the same . And regulator at the Food and Drug Administration ? They , too , deserved a stave of anatomically gainsay self - fulfilment .
“ coloured language ” ? Critics ought to “ go copulate with themselves ” ? I think adult can safely rede that to mean that he waved both hands in the gentle wind , flip everyone off , and said that Wall Street , Congress , the FDA , and the world-wide public can all go fuck themselves .
I have it away there are tremendous swaths of the country that consider rough language to be exactly what ’s wrong with the Earth today . But it ’s about time we break mouse around when we talk about the ways in which Americans are continually being fucked by pharmaceutical and health insurance company .
It ’s readable that the leader of these companies do n’t give a ass about us . They say as much . So paint their words — their real words — in prominent , bold letter on every decaying billboard and boarded up shop in America .
The chairperson of Mylan , a party that made$480 millionin virginal earnings last yr , has told us to go fuck ourselves . The least we can do is quote him accurately . And as a consumer of the EpiPen I have a subject matter for Mr. Coury too : Go fuck yourself .
