.EpiPen Price Hike Has Parents of Kids With Allergies Scrambling Ahead of School Year
The cost of saving your child's life has gotten a lot more expensive.
Parents getting ready for back-to-school season have another item to toss in the basket along with Trapper Keepers and boxes of pencils — and they're facing sticker shock at the latest price increase.

They don't have my info and they include a different email address, company name, and contact info for me every time. There's no link to get removed from their list and when I hover over the link in the email, it says my email name and then something in Russian. I'm not clicking it. O_o
Is there a way to stop these messages in Hotmail or should I just keep letting my junk folder catch them in the hopes that it will eventually stop? less

Do you think, under the right set of circumstances, that it's possible for someone who adamantly says they would never do such a thing, to actually be fully capable.

Under those circumstances, would you consider taking them up on their offer if it meant saving your child's life.
