GLP-1s are already under immense pricing pressure due to competition, direct to consumer sales outside of the insurance system (to the point of forging entire new markets for drug companies never possible before - what other drugs have millions of customers paying $300-400/mo for prescription medications?), compounding pharmacies end-arouding patent law like this article is about, and outright black market sales that dwarf any other prescription medication classes outside of opioids and benzodiazepines.

It has nearly nothing to do with government action. These will be the most profitable medications ever invented once the dust settles and it’s a game of price optimization right now.
