Im in the UK and i can get a private prescription for 1 months Mounjaro 5mg (needles and kwikpen included )for 180 quid about 220 dollars, which is the same stuff as the brand Zepbound . Wegovy is 30GBP/ 40 dollars cheaper per month.
Wheres the 1000 dollars per month extra coming from?
The root cause of the skyrocketing costs of "managing" T2D is the broken system's obsession with "late-stage-sickness-seeking-profitteering-kabukli-dance-theatrics" (sponsored by the diabolical medical industrial complex) without any accountability and patient-centric care for the effective primary lifestyle optimization measures to detect early, monitor, and CURE the signs of chronic diseases BEFORE they destroy our freedom and rob our wealth. Throwing money at a failed system and hoping to produce a different result, by definition, is insanity. Time to rethink, redesign, and replace the broken legacy of 19th-century analog unsustainable, unscalable, unacceptable, failed, and corrupt allopathic medicine 2.0!
