Wegovy Price Gouging?

So, like $200 the first month, then about $500 after that? Similar to what Lilly wants for their stuff. These companies are crazy. At $200 for every month, they'd be rolling in cash. But I guess they don't want insurance companies to stop giving them the big bucks. The whole thing is messed up.
 
Wegovy's gonna be history pretty soon if they don't bring those prices down. It'll be right there with liraglutide in the dinosaur graveyard.
 
Just letting y'all know, that price is only for a short time (ends in about a month, and only for the first fill):

Like I was saying on another thread about the other medication, if both companies lowered their prices, they'd get tons more people buying from them. If they could just ease up a little bit. The greed is unreal!
 
It's super cheap in a lot of other countries. They charge us insane prices here because they know we're all about looking good and want things easy.
 
I kind of agree, but also, other countries have different healthcare and don't do nearly as much testing. Here, we have tons of trials, and other countries trust our meds because our testing is top-notch. Lots of money goes into these meds with all the trials. Plus, we have all these different insurance levels, which other countries don't. So, companies try to make up for lost money here, where all the trials and approvals happen. They also know how our insurance works, so they price gouge. Insurance can pay, not pay, or only partially pay for meds that really change lives. Other countries do healthcare their way, and we do it our way here. Is it fair? Probably not. I don't like how Big Pharma works. I don't want to get political or offend anyone. I don't know everything, but that's kind of how it looks to me. If anyone wants to add or correct anything, please do. I know I'm just scratching the surface and don't want to upset anyone. If I insulted anyone, sorry, didn't mean to. This is just my opinion. I'm not angry, but I hate price gouging. Sorry this was so long!
 
I hear you

It's frustrating to see how genetics can make weight loss so much harder for some people, and then these supposedly game-changing meds are priced out of reach for many. Feels like a double whammy.
 
For me, I have been down 25 pounds in about 5 months or so. I have not upped my dose a ton because I feel like the higher doses make gym days tough. Anyone else see that?
