A whopping 547 percent increase! Ka-ching! The price for a two-pack of life-saving EpiPens has risen from about $94 to about $608 over eight years. Good for Mylan N.V. investors. Not so much for consumers. Of course, Mylan, which owns the rights to market EpiPens, says it’s not price gouging with a product that’s been around since 1986. But certainly recouping research and development costs should no longer be an issue. In response to national outrage — including calls for congressional hearings and a Federal Trade Commi...

I may as well chime in on NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting during the National Anthem. If nothing else, he sparked robust discussion about the First Amendment. Wendel Sloan The National Anthem’s third verse extols killing slaves who escaped their masters to fight with the British during the Revolutionary War: “No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave.” Although I would have picked a less controversial way of prote...

After my second retainer in less than two years split recently, I trekked back up to Farnsworth Orthodontics in Clovis. Although I have not had braces since I was 14 years old, as I told the girls in the doctor’s office, I am a “lifetimer” for wearing a retainer at night. I’m not one of the lucky ones who got to stop wearing it altogether after a few years. While I was at the office, one of the women who works there recognized me as someone she used to “work on” under the p...
