Rybelsus has the same price point as Ozempic ($936) in the United States, which is over four times greater than the second highest price point of $203 in the Netherlands.

Also "blasted" needs to go:
"Remarks came after the president and Senator Bernie Sanders blasted the pharmaceutical giant for its ‘unconscionably high prices’"
Imagine the meme potential of Combo Attack: Bernie and Biden Blasts though
Slammed!
Duh duh ruh, duh duh duh, let the boys be boys!
Ozempic's maker is just trying to protect Americans from the harmful side effects with the unconscionably high price.
Oh no, he’s been “slammed”.

I sell these types of products all day, and how some of them are 0 copay and some are 500 is fucking dumb. Something's got to give, is it the manufacturer, the pbms, the insurance companies?
It's the same for a lot of other meds too, but the injections are way inflated. Someone's making to much money 🤑
