good afternoon. i am allison kropff. i am 10news morning anchor ian reitz. a story where the side effects can include headache an empty wallet than a question of how this is happening. we started putting together a list of drug price increases in leading the investigated actions, chris vanderveen.

like one drug was an anomaly. it wasn't. >> reporter: could could be an oversight. >> know when needed an actual barbecue to consider this. >> we never intended this. >> i feel like it is not giving me answers. >> the ceo of mylan. maker of the now infamous epipen. >> you raised the price? >> yet what we found suggest congress may want to fire up the grill a few more times. >> this is $1800 worth of insulin. >> the best time to tell you isn't just the epipen. months ago we started looking into the national average drug acquisition cost database. it is the average price pharmacist pay for their drugs. we found the epipen is merely

at least 70% since 2012. >> we are putting people's lives at risk. >> drugs like the one a denver middle school teacher takes. >> neuromuscular condition making it impossible to walk or swallow. she takes a 57-year-old drug named mastodon and it now costs 419% more than it did in 2012. >> this is a nonnegotiable in my life. something i need to maintain my health. >> it is not just obscure >> without it i want to be here. >> but shanklin is one in a quarter million americans with type i diabetes. >> when you make decisions on your health based on money. >> insulin jumped 100%. >> ridiculous amount of money these companies are making off the prescriptions. it is insane. >>, generics like doxycycline,

brands like enbrel used by patients like claire brennan with rheumatoid arthritis. >> they are using us. we don't deserve that. none of my friends with arthritis deserve that. >> we know many people like claire don't pay what is on data. you have to consider insurance negotiations. or rebates. i tell them yes and then i tell brian novak. >> i'm at the mercy of the drug companies. spurr -- spurr i have to take it every day. >> another co-pay shielded him from price increases but today he doesn't clown with a $4000 deductible. >> are you reaching a breaking point? >> yes. he place close to the price until he hits that deductible.

going to purchase this medication. >> the kaiser family foundation reports 10 years ago 10% of people who received insurance through work had a deductible of 1000 or more. today for the first time, a majority do. it means millions are potentially losing out on rebates and substantial price negotiations. >> that is what high deductible plans do.>> steve miller works for expressed scripts. the average american's out-of- pocket cosfo in no small part due to drug costs. many times do what the patient is contributing beyond the capability. one more thing we hear over and over again, research can be expensive. and then we tell them 70 drugs on the list are at least a decade old and 38 drugs on the list are two decades old and vitamin k went to fda approval 14 years before the moon

>> one day we will have to pay attention to these guys. >> now we are paying attention taking the investigation national to states like south carolina. and texas. >> and georgia. >> it's not fair at all. this is a disgrace. >> we interviewed dozens and did grilling of our own. because of our list of 100 drugs tells us anything -- tells us those who fail to look beyond the epipen fail to see any more than mere 1% of the story. >> that was reporter chris vanderveen from our station in denver. what are some of the reasons behind this? >> one of the biggest things we found is these are necessarily drugs fresh on the market. we

been on the market for decades and it's only going up in price because it is a monopoly and there is no competition. one thing we will dig into as we continue is other causes and trying to tear this down. >> what happens next and what can be done. >> we want to get momentum as we can because it sounds like it will be congress that has to step up and do something right and this is a bipartisan issue. senators and representatives on both sides who want to see a fix and we get there.>> we will see that tonight at 11:00 mike evans said he will no longer sit for the national anthem and apologizing to military members and families. his agent released a statement. on sunday he sat on the bench during the anthem in protest of president-elect donald trump. the truck that -- the bucs honored military on that game. here is what you are saying. gabriel wallace right, he got

i bet he was back to down. >> when someone called you out you backed down. larry right response with the power of mass and social media. both need to remember that the world is really a small place. most folks in the world can share and communicate in seconds. >> hundreds are outraged over the story that has been spreading. you see these protests and we have been showing them since president-elect donald trump won. it turns out the not registered to vote. the partners in portland look at those arrests during unrest there. emerald morrow has more of the reaction. >> reporter: this story is getting some very strong reactions from you all on our 10news a wtsp facebook page. i want to share some of the comments. allison schooler said if they didn't vote they have no right to complain or to protest and then we have chris who says

also unable to vote. this election affects them as well. it drove hundreds of students out of the classroom and into the streets yesterday in other parts of the country. students said they worried about how minority communities will be treated under president- elect donald trump especially after his comments on immigration. a lot of you take issue with protesters who did not vote. our partners at kgw in portland compared agents -- ages and arrest records. 70% of the protesters arrested did not vote in the election. to be clear this was a small percentage of protesters. there were 4000 people who were demonstrating compared to the 112 who were arrested. the other interesting tidbit to share is that 10 investigates found a similar pattern back in 2012 and the occupied template movement -- those were arrested and those demonstrated seasons
