Sanders launches investigation into ‘unacceptable’ diabetes, weight loss drug prices. Ozempic costs $969 per month in the US, but costs $59 in Germany. Wegovy costs $1,349 a month in the US, compared to $92 in the UK. The drugs could be profitably manufactured for less than $5 per month.

  2. And while you’re at it Bernie, please address KEYTRUDA pricing which easily exceeds $100,000 per patient in the U.S. Shame on you MERCK…

  3. The “profitably manufactured at $5” is where you’ve taken a good idea, and turned it into crap. Crap that will never happen now.

  4. All about getting prices under control, but can they please include other costs other than manufacturing costs when making this argument
