Persuasive Essay On Jet Blue

The “JetBlue Makes Biofuels Deal to Curtail Greenhouse Gases” is about Jet Blues newest strategy to plan for future restrictions. With greenhouse gas pollution changes in the near future Jet Blue has decided to invest in over 330 million gallons of renewable fuel. This is something that makes Jet Blue very unique in the aviation industry because most companies don’t view it as economical despite seeing potential. It has been the low oil prices and the lack of competition in the renewable resource industry that halts most airliners from investing. However, despite skepticism Jet blue seems too confident and views this purchase as something that will only benefit them in the long term.

The EpiPens price has increased to be more than six times what the price was in 2009 all the way to $608. This price hike has consumers questioning if their well-being is something that is being sacrificed for increased profits. However, despite these thoughts the CEO of EpiPen stands her ground by saying the company only makes a profit of roughly $100 every two pack sold. EpiPen continues to look for solutions to make the product affordable through rebates and an introduction of a generic version at a $300 price point. However despite the efforts people are calling for change and pressure is being put on the Obama Administration to act.
I believe what is happening with the EpiPen is extremely unfortunate. This issue is very unsettling and is something that I believe needs to change. I think that a product that could mean the difference between life and death for many people should be affordable for all. Things from what I believe will only continue to spiral out of control if nothing changes. For these reasons I believe it’s up to the government to step in and either make a plan to provide this for the people or open up the door for another company to step in and provide the competition this product so desperately

    I believe that the government should regulate the sales of epipens because the “Mylan” company has a monopoly on them and is unfairly controlling the price. The price of epipens has been raised over 400% in the past few years because Mylan’s one competitor had a recall due to possible errors in drug dosage. The drug used in epipens, epinephrine, is inexpensive and each epipen carries only a dollars worth. The injector itself is bought by Mylan from a manufacturer for only $34.50 per pen!…

    Civic Learning Project CLO 1: The biggest problem throughout my community is the rapid influx in prices for medical insulin. This issue directly benefits from statistical analysis because it would allow people dependent on insulin to purchase necessary medicine at a fair price. Prices would be fair because prices of insulin would eventually decline if drug production were to be increased. As of late, the prices of insulin have skyrocketed. This problem has only increased and will continue to get out of control.…

    The Wall Street Journal writer, Drew Altman, states that “seventy-six percent of the public blames drug companies for high drug prices – with just ten percent blaming insurers” (Altman). Since the main buyers of medications are private insurers and the federal government, the pricing decision commonly does not consider the patient’s affordability. Pharmaceutical firms such as Medicare are not allowed to discuss prices with manufacturers while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not consider cost in medication approval at all. Rare value and lack of alternatives influence high costs and “although some price increases have been caused by shortages, others have resulted from a business strategy of buying old neglected drugs and turning them into high-priced ‘specialty drugs’” (Pollack).…

    The United States have spent far more money on the health care than any other countries. At 17.1% of their gross domestic product on health care, the United States devoted at least 50 percent more of its economy to health care than do other countries (Squires &Anderson, 2015). Even with so much spending on healthcare, people in the United States are still unable to afford the health care prices, particularly the need for prescription drugs. It is difficult for consumers who have already spent money on health coverage, and with high drug cost due to pharmaceuticals’ regulation on price increased the burden for patients to afford the drugs that they need. Drugs are created and manufactured by the pharmaceutical companies where they have the authority…

    A drug named Daraprim price was raised by 5000%, from $13.50 to $750 per pill. Many cases similar to Daraprim have happened, and a pattern of massive price increase of many life saving drugs by pharmaceutical companies becomes apparent. Expensive drugs had forced patients to make difficult choices, either to cut down basic needs to save money to buy the needed drugs, or to cut down the use of the drugs itself. Americans start blaming drug companies of price gouging and call for drug prices regulation by government. Drug companies, on the other hand, blame health insurance companies for shifting the cost of purchasing drugs to patients.…

    Some have even added a new category to include specialty drugs where the patient has to pay more. All of these factors coupled with the rising drug prices, is making it extremely hard for patients to afford these prescription drugs. There was a poll conducted and almost a quarter out of 648 people said that could not refill a prescription in the past year because of the rise in costs. Those that are prescribed a brand name drug compared to a generic brand were also found not to comply with their regimen, and this obviously causes a decrease in their health outcome. The United States puts so much money into making these drugs that they do not put as much effort into actually making them affordable.…
