I'm not a doctor or an insurance expert so this is all banking off of my experience with these pharmaceuticals.
Narcan is not always free, it is significantly cheaper than epinephrine but the only time I've seen it "free" is it insurance companies cover the cost with a 0 dollar copay.

But I've seen Narcan used to save my brothers life, who overdosed on heroin.
I have a life threatening allergy to nuts and only had one scare in my adulthood.
I've never had the opportunity to buy an EpiPen but thankfully I was able to get Narcan.
Be mad that an epi pen costs that much because at least Narcan can easily save lives for cheap.
Narcan being this affordable is just a step closer to affordable life saving medicine. Epinephrine being so expensive is a step back.
