then shouldn't it be the opposite - that they have to pay more not less since
they are not the ones doing the R&D

The first GLP-1 Agonist received FDA approval in 2005. Research on Semaglutide started

Agreed. But should it cost 8-10x more in America than Europe? If yes, why?

Because those socialist societies have outsourced drug R&D to the one country

"Should" and "socialized medicine" are often in the same sentence unfortunately

I don’t understand this. R&D is expensive. But once the R&D is done and the drug is being distributed, why is it sold at

It shouldn't - it is unfair that socialized medicine in Europe forces US healthcare customers

It’s an indictment on their system that they pay far less?

It's an indictment of their system that they rely on other people to pay for their stuff

It costs nearly $5 Billion to develop and qualify a drug in the US

It’s $150/mo… many can save more on it with less food costs per month

I think the point of the video is that the government is paying

There is some pretty good science behind the fact that weightlifting won't fix people's obesity problems.

Weight loss, cardiovascular, mental health, and anti-cancer benefits are all good, regardless

Yeah, everyone with depression and anxiety and cancer should just exercise…

Nah. Everyone should just take pills.

You can find "research" GLP-1's on the web, about $100/month
