Our country subsidizes the costs so they can charge more.

What Bernie is doing is from an old socialist textbook , it's nothing new His trying to sound and act like He cares. We've seen that , politicians visiting companies trying to force and fix prices . These populist public gallery shows irritate industry and lead to companies downsizing. Executives don't really have the time to entertain an idle politician.

Anna's pessimism is getting really annoying 😒 bernie does the best thing any politician in his shoes would do to fight drug prices even drawing attention and the conversation to it and she's like "I wish he would attack his colleagues more on this" can you just be glad he's attacking CEOs. I swear she has no concept of teamwork. The only reason he's on that committee is because he can work reasonably well and play nice with the democrats that keep him there

I was getting emails for donations from Chuck Schumer more than a month ago. He was bragging about how they lowered drug costs. Another lie down the pipeline. More than a month ago when there was a vague promise for 11 drugs out of thousands.

How much is US government paying for those drugs in research funds? Shouldn't your business politician negotiate terms where government either gets profits that match that investment (as what happens in EVERY OTHER investment situation), or can negotiate fair price since they are primary partner for the company?

Very good performance by the Novo Nordisk CEO!
The high prices in the USA are a consequence of the installed system - installed by politicians.
Will they find a lot of people in the USA who pay the 969 dollars? I think not ...
But it is allowed to give a credit card or two or three to the people with a very high interest rate and nobody talks about this ...

Bernie Sanders should've been president of this country and yet lucky to the repubes he didn't make it but now we all know he should've already been our president. Also you cannot at all trust the germans as i won't even capitalize their origin as they are like the chinese and can't be trusted, they are only going by the rules because they have no choice and even that they can change as they to me are on a separate chapter with the russians and are making some type of deal because it's to their interest also they are making separate nuclear arms that are already here in America, these killers from back in the day never died and have tricks up their sleeves we are aware of well some of us are, the germans again like the chinese can't be trusted and have to be forced to do things the right American way if they want to do business here in America but they want to be slick, all we have to do is knock off one company of cars they sell here in America to make them poor, imagine we knock off all of their cars and parts here in America what!!!! what will happen is we will start making german parts here in America opening up a new business for us and boom for all BMWs from 2025 on down we will make their parts and maybe more affordable as anything after that we will not take in till they do the right thing and stop robbing America for everything that they sell and Harris better jump on this, how is it even possible for them to be charging us that much money as our orders are 10 times their order and should be 10 times cheaper, like illegal drugs the more you buy the cheaper it is well these are drugs but they are robbing because they are legal but their dealing are illegal us and we should murda them financially in our America as we are the most powerful country in this world and need to act like it, taking away all of their privileges and 10 timing whatever we sell to them, this is one thing i know for a fact America can handle without trying so Harris and Walz add these fools to your promises to do act. Oh and that last question on how would the world know what other countries are paying for it well just like the ingredients it should be posted on the bottle the options of purchase from every country selling it cheaper and those selling it more expensive so we can know just in case we ever travel to that country we can get it for those prices like come on theirs an answer to all the questions. GOD BLESS AMERICA AS WE CAN DO ANYTHING THAT OUR ENEMIES COULD DO SHOULD ANY COUNTRY DECIDE TO BE OUR ENEMY AND IF SO LUCKY FOR US WE'RE NOT THEM.

@jensmadsen9811 Says:
What John and Bernie says is not true. It is not 986 vs 186 in Denmark. 186 is the ACTUAL price that I pay at the counter in Denmark BUT the rest is paid by our health care system through taxes. For 80% of Americans the ACTUAL price is 25 at the counter and the rest is paid by the insurance. So it is 186 vs 25 (for 80% of Amaricans). Why do I as a Dane have to pay more?! Bernie's visualization is really really misleading. And Bernie knows this but he does it anyways.

Commenting at 1 : 23 ... It's garbage and it's not saving people, it's killing them. What happened to "who do you trust"? Instead of further advertising these fake meds, why don't you speak more about what is truly harming/killing our people? Fake food, ha. (And of course all the toxins in the food, water, air ... often from the same profiteers) They get our children hooked on fake food, gets 'em unhealth and fat. And then? They have the "cure"? Ozempic. Why does it create weight loss? Because it makes 'em feel SICK. Brilliant! LOL. Research shows that even in diabetics it significantly increases their chances of getting the big C (thyroid). Let it sink into your brain, babe. If "medicine" is going to kill you in a few years or plummets your quality of life (you feel sick on it all the time), then it isn't truly medicine. Here's a statement I promise you can trust:
Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
Our food is trash (not real food), our "medicine" is trash. And yet you think you're being helpful to talk about these profiteers charging more and more for their trash. You're doing nothing. But giving 'em free advertising. That is, you're part of the problem. Oh, yep, just like during the you-know-what years. If you truly care about sick and obese people, do the research. Discover that the profiteers intentionally get children/people addicted to their "food." And sometimes it's just the effect of eating fake food. So reversing that is job one. And their fake meds ain't gonna do that. If you don't actually care enough about people to make that kind of effort, then at least find channels that will help them with it (lillie kane, thomas delauer, paul saladino, etc) and direct your viewers to them.

Jon's got it exactly right! Please, everyone share this!
@Scarly373 Says:
If people weren't seeking out ozempic for aesthetic weight loss, prices wouldn't be as high. Supply and demand. Most of the drug and semalglutide are being bought by people who just want to lose 20-40 lbs, rather than diabetes. I agree there should be caps. I agree they're charging us more to make up for what they're not charging other countries.

@Spyrit2011 Says:
These diabetic medications should only be given to diabetics. The bottom line they raise prices and sell it to overweight people, these prices effect people with type 2 diabetes. Another issue with these diabetic medications is their side effects, like depleting nutrients in the body, which no doctor ever talks about. I take metformin this is what it does, Metformin therapy has been shown to deplete vitamin B12, and sometimes, but not always, folic acid as well. No doctor gives nutrient supplementation for this loss.

The funny thing is that Novo Nordisk’s majority shareholder is a non-profit charity organization, which donates more than all American pharma companies combined. So, for the most part, their revenue benefits sick and needy people, R&D projects around the world.
Just fix your stupid health insurance system, and then prices will come down. Americans want free competition everywhere, except when it comes to insurance. This alone is the reason for the high prices of medicine. It's kind of funny that not a single American manufacturer volunteered to participate in this hearing like Novo Nordisk did. The medicine in question was invented in Denmark with non-American funding.

give me a break my oral chemo therapy medication(sprycel) for leukemia is 22k a month and the insurance companies don't allow co-pay cards to go towards my 7k annual deducitble and max out of pocket. ALL THE PHARMA COMPANIES are in bed with the insurance companies. because Insurance doesn't want to pay their fair share. THis has been going on for 5 years. NOTHING IS CHANGING. If anyhthing the US REWARDS this behavior.

"We charge you more because your government allows us to!"
Very true, and I love Bernie "I wrote the damn bill" Sanders, but sadly America doesn't even deserve him. Far too many people vote for Republicans which means they are voting against their own interests. It's just shameful and beyond insane. We The People need fight the corruption and division.

Taxes incentives for Business. Cut red tape that prevents home building. $6000 for a newborn child, Trump wants tariffs that will increase taxes for families by $3900. The Tariffs will affect the supply chain, and businesses will INCREASE PRICES TO CONSUMERS, increasing inflation! REMEMBER, TRUMP KILLED THE BI-PARTISAN IMMIGRATI0J AGREEMENT WHICH WOULD HAVE HIRED1500 BORDER PATROL OFFICERS AND ADDITIONAL JUDGES AND LIMITED IMMIGRATION! LOST 200,000 manufacturing jobs.
