Because those socialist societies have outsourced drug R&D to the one country
that still does it. Sucks but it is what it is.

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

I watched half of it before I had to stop because I was rolling my eyes so hard

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

"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’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

Wegovy is only FDA approved for weight loss if your BMI is >30.

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
