#2I understand that $25 may have been an introductory loss leader but $1k seems insane and short sighted given the size of the market this drug potentially has.

I assume it's some kind of health insurance bullshit pricing, where they never really expect people to buy it for $1000 a month.

Surely there is a formula that can solve for an optimum price that will maximize revenue by making it cheap enough for a certain segment of the population to pay for out of pocket. I don't have diabetes and I'm not morbidly obese, but I have struggled with my weight, and, frankly, given the hype, I'd try it on my own if it were something like $100/mo.

#9The story itself doesn't mention TikTok at all, it's really strange that the headline makes it the key aspect of the article.
edit now the title here has changed, but it's still strange The Independent list that as the most important part. Guess it's normal click bait tactics.

The US healthcare system is systematically broken. I've sworn off doing business in that sector because the cultural attitude that insurance companies have towards payment has infected everything. You can't trust anything anyone says about how much they will pay for something. Some kind of drawn-out, adversarial process around payment collection is the expectation.
Sorry for that rant I am a bit traumatized by my experiences trying to do business in the US healthcare industry.
