Novo's semaglutide among 2nd batch of drugs selected for Medicare price negotiation

Here are the first two sentences of the article:

The U.S. government has selected the second batch of drugs up for Medicare price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act.

The list of 15 medicines includes blockbuster drugs from Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, AstraZeneca, GSK and other companies. Novo’s booming semaglutide franchise for diabetes and obesity is the standout inclusion in this year’s list.

If he ever surfaces again

Don't worry, if they all bail me and Dwight will keep the forum running with terrible jokes until they come back. Maybe I'll even be mean to oyster, just to keep the Tracy vibes around.

Wow, this is a huge deal. The first round was specifically selected so as not to make waves with pharma. Actually useful drugs that have some time left on their patents is progress. We’ll see if this goes anywhere. Maybe they can really stick it to novo and get it for 3x the European price instead of 10x

Trump undid all of bidens negotiations, was this included you think?

The Trump administration is pretty busy on a bunch of fronts. Lots of items on the todo list and only 4 years to get it done.
However, medications are a large percentage of our federal Medicare and Medicaid spending.
