[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do some of you always make it about BC pills (aka you own obsession with others’ sex lives and ignoring BC is used for young girls just trying to get through painful menstruation/endometriosis), when it’s mostly people just not wanting to go bankrupt after surviving cancer or a heart attack?

Birth control pills are not a significant price point.  Stuff like the new weight loss drugs and the biologics that they advertise on TV are a significant price point.  Something like 50% of the cost increase in prescription drugs last year was due to wegovy/ozempic usage.  In the long term, it’s cheaper than paying for Diabetes care but it’s naive to act like this stuff doesn’t increase premiums especially if the insurance company doesn’t police usage.  And while I don’t think anyone should get a 10M bonus, that is not the driver here for a company doing 30-40 billion in revenue every year.  Premiums are up because health insurance costs are up and government subsidies are down—you could eliminate all the C suite bonuses and it wouldn’t really effect the price.[/quote]
