Interesting discussion between Bernie Sanders and Danish pharma boss Lars Jørgensen: Why is medicine up to 15 times more expensive in the US?
Reason: Products like Wegovy are sold on a state negotiated price in European countries, while in the US it is sold at market prices.
In other words: If Wegovy was expensive in Denmark, the Danish government would just remove Wegovy from the market, which would ruin the business. But in the US, the market is unregulated.
