[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, some people are furious at the discovery that they aren’t thin because of their moral superiority. It is a blow to their sense of self. [/quote]

Agree! I didn’t read the article but I am thrilled for all the people getting skinny from taking Ozempic! It brings me joy that naturally thin people are irritated over this. [/quote]

I'm not irritated by it at all! On the contrary, good for whomever takes these meds and loses weight and then gets healthy. It's a huge burden taken off of our already broken and expensive healthcare system.  [/quote]

Well, I’m glad people can avoid heath care complications associated with obesity for their own sake of quality of life.  But let’s not pretend putting all the overweight people on a drug that costs $1000/month that they need to take the rest of their life is somehow cutting healthcare cost[/quote]

Drug prices go down when the patient base gets bigger, and generic versions of drugs cost less but aren't developed unless there is a sufficient patient base. [/quote]

Generic versions are created when the patents expire. Not based on demand.

Do you think generic versions just spontaneously out of thin air, or is it a decision made by someone(s) who think there is enough of a market to sell to for a total profit?[/quote]
