Medicare announces price cuts for 15 prescription drugs, including Ozempic
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.
The price cuts come through the Medicare drug price negotiation program created under the Inflation Reduction Act, which Joe Biden signed into law in 2022.
It’s different from Donald Trump’s “most favored nation” drug pricing approach, which relies on executive orders and voluntary deals with drugmakers — not legislation. Trump recently announced such a deal with Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic and Wegovy, to lower the price of the drugs in exchange for tariff relief.
So keep jabbing yourself full of weight loss drugs so you can consume more empty fast food calories.
In the mean time, vaccines bad and should be hidden. It was less than a year ago when the health department made some sense.

The weight loss drugs work by suppressing appetite, so wouldn't people be eating less fast food on them than off them?
Maybe? I dunno, seems a way for people to treat it as a get out of guilt free card. Some types work as stimulants to promote burning more calories rather than helping minimize intake.
Being pro vaccine doesn't excuse you for using anti-science and prejudice to attack other medications.
That's what I'm talking about. You're attacking a medication without understanding it and have an active desire to not understand it. You've made up your mind, in ignorance, and are using your prejudice to justify advocating against that thing you refuse to understand.
I see this exact attitude with all sorts of science deniers from Flat Earthers to racists. It makes the world a worse place. Stop it.
Didn't care about the specifics of a particular one over another. My take is that promoting the 'fix' of something via chemical intervention that wasn't a widespread problem until relatively recently is the wrong approach.
This is not something caused by genetics or some novel disease targeting the USA public, it's a change in recent decades of our diets and lifestyles.
Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.
You don’t want to eat more when you taking a glp1.
They’re one of the few drugs that seem to actually address overeating disorders that people have been unable to manage through other means.
Bless your heart. My family member who struggles with weight has broken almost every bone in their body and has had two spine surgeries. Chronic pain makes it hard to stay active. This person also eats less than me and is bigger so they clearly have a slower metabolism. The drug makes you feel full a lot quicker so people on it eat a lot less naturally.
