I guess it's also worth mentioning that the generic classification "goes back decades, to before Mylan even purchased EpiPen." Also worth quoting from TFA; "The federal government issued a rule this year requiring all companies with drugs that have been approved under what the Food and Drug Administration calls a new drug application to either reclassify them as brand-name drugs or seek a waiver. Mylan had previously said it would seek such a waiver, but on Friday it said it agreed that the EpiPen would be classified as a branded drug beginning in April of next year." A quick settlement in this case relieves both parties, as by no means was the government in a good position for accepting the lower rebates for decades and just now turning around and crying fowl. But by all means, populist outcries are fun to watch, lets waive those pitchforks and yell "off with their heads!"
