It would be an interesting public expenditure for the US govt to buy Novo Nordisk and give every American who wanted it Ozempic for free. I suspect they'd get the few hundred billion that would cost back.
And they'd be able to provide diabetes medicines as a side benefit.
That's one of the saddest things I've ever seen. On a post outside a dollar tree in Baltimore there were 3 flyers all in a row:
"Auto title loans - money fast"
"Make $ selling plasma"
"We pay cash for diabetes supplies"
Any system where there's a black market for simple life sustaining medicine has an issue.
Once it comes off copyright and generics can be made, the US should just produce an in-house generic semaglutide.
Is there a country that we send him back home to? His Sikh, Muslim and Hindu friends are doing that; why can't he go back to wherever he came from and we can leave our country intact?

Veritasium just posted an excellent video bringing attention to the way media outlets (both legacy and social) often badly misrepresent the findings of scientists. Well worth the watch.
