Why is Semaglutide $1,000 in the US but $100 in Europe?

It makes me sick. I was looking at a pricing chart yesterday comparing what a patient in Germany pays for Wegovy versus what a patient in Florida pays. In the US, the list price is nearly $1,350. In Europe? It’s often under $150. Same drug. Same manufacturer. Same box.

Why are American families being bled dry for the exact same medicine that the rest of the world gets for the price of a nice dinner?

The "Free Market" Myth

We are told that high prices in the US drive innovation. That is a lie. Most of the basic research for these drugs starts with taxpayer-funded grants at universities. Big Pharma then swoops in, patents the final result, and charges us whatever they want because our government—unlike almost every other developed nation—doesn't negotiate prices for most citizens.

You can read about pharmaceutical pricing in the US to see the systemic rot for yourself. It is a system built for shareholders, not patients.

The Middleman Markup

It’s not just the manufacturers. We have a layer of "Pharmacy Benefit Managers" (PBMs) who take a cut of every single pill sold. They operate in the shadows, demanding "rebates" from drug makers that never actually make it into your pocket. They are the reason your local pharmacist looks stressed when they tell you the total at the window.

Taking Your Power Back

The system is rigged against you. I've spent ten years fighting it, and I've realized you can't wait for a law to change. You need a solution today.

Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are the best-kept secret in healthcare. The drug companies know their prices are indefensible, so they create these programs to avoid total public outrage. We help you cut through their red tape and get these $1,000 drugs for $40 a month. It’s the only way to get a "European price" while living in America.
