I know someone who takes Mounjaro. It is $1200 a dose. Each dose is 2ml. $1200 for 2 ml. Each package has four doses in it. $1200 X 4 = $4800 per sale. The number of sales for this miracle drug that lets one live a lifetime of stubborn refusal to take care of oneself and then just toss the consequences out of the window. For a price that assures the makers that only those who will keep coming back would want to afford it, of course. After all, we can't help the peons. They are the ones paying all that money for weight loss and gym memberships and training videos. Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. You think they are going to allow unrestricted access to something that will remove that income? So, do you think they are going to allow 'knock-offs' when they make that kind of money with each sale?
No wonder it is so popular. It has both the promise of effort-free weight loss and the idea that you must be a special rich person since you can afford it. Now, the idea that it will help people? Probably number eleven or so on the list of why they made it.
So freaking sick of the financial bias when it comes to healthcare.
