The lower prices stem from the Medicare negotiation program created under the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Tuesday announced lower prices on 15 costly prescription drugs under Medicare, including Ozempic and Wegovy.

Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.
People said LITERALLY the same thing about ADHD. You’re straight up mistaken in your thinking, and you need people like me to tell you that because you refuse to learn about the things your criticizing on your own.
But you’re probably just going to accuse me of bias and ignore me. That’s what all the other science deniers do, too.
You’re going to try and compare lack of understanding about a mental condition to people physically getting wider?
You don’t even understand enough to get why the comparison is relevant.
