Basically because they want to make money, and since people are familiar with their product, they can charge whatever they want, which they think they can get from insurance companies.

Fortunately, there is a generic version of the auto-injector which works a little differently, but is much, much cheaper. It is called the Adrenaclick, and it is a great alternative to using a syringe to inject epinephrine (which also works, but of course you have to be really careful).

There also seems to be something called the Medihaler-Epi which is an inhaler that delivers epinephrine as well, although I don't have any comparative pricing information on that. These are all things that you should talk about with your doctor if the EpiPen is too expensive for your family.
