> When the difference is $1 vs $600, I think a lot of people would be willing to take that risk, especially for something that is basically an unexpected expense; I doubt any allergic people are getting stung by bees on purpose.
What probabilities are you assigning to needing the printed epipen to survive, and to it functioning correctly, such that it's worth that risk?
I get where you're coming from. I guess my point was that to most people $600 might as well be $6,000 or $6,000,000, since that's not something they can afford on their own. At that point, the dollar version is (hopefully) better than nothing.
