Bernie Sanders:
"There is no rational reason, other than greed, for Novo Nordisk to charge Americans nearly $1,000 a month for Ozempic when it costs less than $5 to manufacture it and can be purchased in Germany for just $59. Novo must substantially reduce the price of Ozempic in the US now."

Drugs have become the answer far too often. It is much wiser and beneficial to offer those struggling with weight issues, as well as many other issues to find the underlying cause.
@L1b3rtyBasmatiGreen4wks4W
Has there ever been a weight-loss drug that *hasn't* turned into a medical nightmare and crapload of lawsuits?
@FilibusterLemurPatriot4wks4W
Ozempic has gone from strange new treatment to human right in record time
@LovingDunbirdRepublican4wks4W
After all this time, you'd think Bern would understand why foreign countries pay far less for this stuff. It has to be willful at this point.
@FilibusterLemurPatriot4wks4W
Naa, he understands. It's that he gets paid to pretend he doesn't understand.
Those multi-million dollar mansions don't pop up from dragons teeth.
And there are millions of diabetics that use them. I’m pretty sure they can make profit without a %1000 markup.
@ExcitedCockatooVeteran4wks4W
Imagine this level of kinden garden thinking.
You want a free lunch, but you will never get it. Corps will just stop investing in new drugs, 101 logic.
And who knows, maybe one corp will use their profit to find a way to multiply that one brain cell you are function with.
This is incredibly stupid. Estimates run into billions spent on research and development.
And why did they have billions to spend? Because prior drugs were profitable enough. So it’s good if they make a huge profit here, more to spend on future drugs and more investors.
@CentristJoePatriot4wks4W
I believe the R&D cost ozempic was 10 billion. So cool. 1 years worth of profits to develop 1 drug. Meanwhile there are thousands of pharmaceuticals.
@FishTimLibertarian4wks4W
All drugs become generic drugs so a company must make a large profit within the small window to recuperate the losses and make an actual profit. After the window passes anyone can make that drug driving the price down.
@ApricotsMadelynVeteran4wks4W
Well, except it costs hundreds of millions to get FDA approval...
@F4irTradeJonnyGreen4wks4W
Have they not made a cool profit of 15Billion$ last year itself,does that cover a few million$(as per your information itself)not covered in that Billion$ profit already.Can a senator of Bernies Sanders’ status be wrong in His calculations-is it wrong to demand selling cost cut?
@ApricotsMadelynVeteran4wks4W
Many drugs that are tested never make it to market and the costs involved are $Billions in losses. Check out the % of successful drugs and it will make more sense. Of course costs could be much lower to the public.
