If they don't want to be accused of ripping off US consumers, maybe they shouldn't be ripping off US consumers.

THESE GODDAMN CAPITALIST PIGS, all they do is FUCKING LIE

According to the report, the United States had the highest prices for all four drugs, with costs ranging from $936 (Ozempic/Rybelsus) to $1,349 (Wegovy) for a one-month supply.

For Ozempic, a one-month supply in the United States ($936) is over five times higher than the cost in Japan ($169), the second highest price point for the drug. The lowest price point for Ozempic is $83 in France.

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. Wegovy and Mounjaro are also priced between two and three times higher in the United States than in other countries that offer the drug.

GODDAMN LIARS

Also "blasted" needs to go:

"Remarks came after the president and Senator Bernie Sanders blasted the pharmaceutical giant for its ‘unconscionably high prices’"

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”.

What a totally information-packed, non-newspeak word
