WATCH: Mylan CEO Heather Bresch goes down in flames defending $16M pay raise and EpiPen price hike
Brad Reed BRAD REED 25 AUG 2016 AT 09:36 ET

Mylan Pharmaceuticals CEO Heather Bresch is desperately trying to control the public relations disaster created by her company’s decision to jack up the price of the life-saving EpiPen drug by 450 percent over the past 12 years.

CNBC interviewer Brian Sullivan also pointed out that the American Medical Association has said that EpiPens are the same product that they were in 2009, and thus nothing justifies such massive price hikes.

When asked how she could justify increasing her own compensation — which has risen from $2.5 million in 2007 to $18.9 million in 2015 — even as parents have to pay significantly more for their children’s life-saving drugs, Bresch again completely dodged the question.

2. She has the dodge-pivot technique down well and the buzzwords.

Wonder when she will run for Congress?



The " we have legislated 48 states " is a bit troubling.

3. Bresch didn't just give herself that disgusting pay raise though. The Executive Board approved it.

And they're getting off the hook here.
