Another option: Move to a healthcare system that allows the government to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies so ozempic is no longer so expensive that it bankrupts us.

The UK gets their semaglutide meds from Novo Nordisk for ~£75 to ~£175 depending on the dosage for a month supply. It starts at ~$1k in the US. Tons of other countries with similar or better negotiated pricing.

Instead of implementing a system that would allow our government to have leverage to prevent this sort of thing from happening to begin with, we sit around, wait for enough everyday people to get screwed over by it to start raising a ruckus, and then some federal agencies fine you a infinitesimal amount compared to the profits you made, your CEO goes and testifies in front of Congress for a few minutes, and even on the most positive outcome side, they then reduce the prices, and basically never to the levels they negotiated with other countries.

Meanwhile they keep the overwhelming amount of money they made selling it to Americans at outrageous prices. And hell - that's capitalism, baby! I can't say I have any expectation of a company behaving any differently when this is a valid way to operate.

So we gotta make it not a valid way to operate.
