As demand for the new class of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs skyrockets, one thing has stood in the way of many people trying to access them: cost. With a price tag around $1,000 a month for U.S. patients and many insurance companies refusing to cover these drugs for weight loss, patients are often turning to alternatives.
In episode two of “Trillion Dollar Shot,” we look at the roadblocks to making these drugs more affordable, concerns that their high cost will negatively impact U.S. insurance systems, and the sometimes risk-laden options people are turning to in desperation.

Before Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound, there was Lotte Bjerre Knudsen.
In the 1990s, the young scientist at the Danish drug company Novo Nordisk was trying to unlock the key to a new technology for treating Type 2 diabetes. To her bosses, Lotte’s project, which focused on a hormone called GLP-1, looked like a distraction.
But as Lotte fought to save her diabetes project from the chopping block, she couldn’t have imagined how much of an impact her breakthrough would have. Her work would pave the way for a hit drug called Ozempic. And it would unleash a new class of blockbuster drugs, pitting two companies in a race to become the world’s first trillion-dollar pharmaceutical company by market cap.

Terrible. The giggling made it even worse.
sounds like one of those podcasts by a couple of high school girls. I unsubscribe from those because they're a tad irritating.
You should choose the right game based on your experience and preferences. Some casino games require no skill at all and have good odds. And for other games, you need to know the patterns and sequences in order to win the casino. I advise you to start by following the play of more experienced players like Egle Dicegirl https://dicegirl.casino/ . She is a professional gambling streamer
The FNIM perspective is missing from this story.
Could Jamie Dimon be more out of touch with what life is like for Americans? The cost of living factors that are always skewed to favor business, minimize the impact on average person, while also making the government sound wonderful never represents real life. He really thinks the extra $39 week from the 2021 stimulus is still around, when every single utility, groceries, local taxes, etc have massively increased? He & the CEO of Kellogg's should have to live one year on average salary $59,384.
Did he say "I'm Kate Linebaugh"??

is someone gonna be penalized for this? I don't mean paying a few million pounds which is nothing to the govt. I mean someone gets charged & sent to prison for a long time. of course not.
This is so shocking. It's a shame such an important and sensitive issue is not more widely discussed, this needs a lot of attenzion and pressure to make policy changes to protect children.
shitty reporting. No mention that push button starters not affected by this design vulnerability.

Sooo... heterosexual kiss completely blown out of proportion for sexual politics sake... not trying to "calm" things at all by me saying this... instead let sexual politics go so much further that normal heterosexual males could completely be sick of modern woman whom are everywhere except raising kids at home... let things get soo bad that the ONLY place men can have some peace abd quiet is in their home where they do not allow woman to invade it ... woman are everywhere in their face at work, shopping, offices, hospitals, sports, driving cars, university, the only place to have any peace from woman will be at home, which means no marriage, no kids, this is nearly the last generation... no future... no family...
I'm intrigued by the title "The Journal." It immediately brings to mind a sense of mystery and introspection. Journals can hold the most personal thoughts and experiences of an individual, almost like a hidden world that's waiting to be explored. I wonder if the story within this journal is one of self-discovery, a record of adventures, or perhaps a collection of fictional tales. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to dive into the content. http://www.travelful.net/location/5211040/usa/deli-paper-pros Whether it's a real journal or a work of fiction centered around one, journals have a unique way of capturing emotions and memories. Looking forward to finding out more! https://www.brownbook.net/business/51919696/prime-butcher-wrap/
At some point, the cover-up will exceed the crime. That's what happened to Nixon.
funny how when they "expose" it's always the conservative justices.
