Abstract

The article discusses the issue of high drug prices in the United States, focusing on the drug Ozempic and its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. It highlights the global shortage of the drug and the exorbitant cost, which is significantly higher in the US compared to other countries. The article suggests that the high prices are a result of the patent monopoly held by Novo Nordisk and the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on lobbying. It calls for bolder reforms to address the issue, citing examples from other countries. The article also mentions President Biden's efforts to lower drug prices and the need for public support and awareness. The second part of the document discusses the transformation of America into an oligarchy due to corrupt rulings by Republicans on the Supreme Court. It mentions the legalization of bribery, the weakening of federal regulatory agencies, and the immunity of presidents from criminal prosecution. The article argues that these actions have fundamentally altered the nature of the country and calls for a massive revolt at the ballot box to reverse the course set by right-wing billionaires.
