You can be sure that Wellpoint has also negotiated a good rate on Epi-pens. This price-gouging affects people who don't have prescription drug coverage or those who are enrolled in HSA plans that force you to pay for the first few thousand dollars worth of prescriptions at retail prices. And there are a lot of people being funnelled into HSAs by their employers.

My children have a need for epipens. With our insurance, it is still prohibitively expensive. After hearing about the cost in GB, I'm considering making a trip to London to stock up

    Yes, they do. Unfortunately, you tend to need several per child (minimum one for school, one for home). So, these costs quickly multiply.
