Not a good analogy, Lurker.  The difference is that there was only one source for Epipens at the time--essentially a monopoly.  High tp prices is simply prices rising with demand greater than supply; where individual sellers set the price but do not control the availability of the commodity.  Buyers who don't like the price can find the product from a seller willing to sell cheaper.    I don't like the role of government empowered to set a limit on price at all.  Sets a terrible precedent, and as we know, once government gets power it rarely lets go.
