The cost in France for Wegovy is $90/month or $1080/year. In Germany, it's $328/month or $3936/year.
VSL for an average middle-aged person is on the order of $2M USD. The QALY advantage makes it clear that it's a net positive, even at this crazy price. And the prices US patients pay for many medications is well beyond absurd, it's unfair gouging. There should be a law: US retail medication prices cannot exceed the currency-adjusted prices of all other per-country average market prices by more than 10%.
