People have been up in arms about the high price of the EpiPen.
Tensions over this issue have flared up this week as senators and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton have taken a stand against the price of the medicine. You can see how the price has increased in the last decade here.
In response to the pressure, the medicine's maker, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, said that it would start covering up to $300 of what people pay for an EpiPen two-pack, and that it would double the number of people eligible for its patient-assistance program. It also blamed Obamacare for people noticing its price hike.
Not everyone is buying into Mylan's EpiPen price plan, however, and Mylan's share price is down 11% this week.
