Thanks Dave,

I’d love to see the prices they have in mind. Lilly direct is $350/mo for 2.5mg and $500 for 5-10mg which is still ridiculously high and much more than the around $200 cost to some other nations. Plus they don’t even offer the 12.5 and 15, so many of us would have to lower our dose or pay even more than 500/month to keep our current treatment. I hope their set price is less than 500/month.

Get rid of the coupons/rebates and get rid of the middlemen!!!! so the money is not going everywhere else.

Most of America needs GLP-1 drugs so the demand is so great that the prices can fall. Everyone is afraid tha t food consumption will drop which it should since we are gluttons. Higher food prices fixes many issues. 80Bites.com

Higher food prices will not fix the problem. A change in food environment might. Less manufactured food availability and more whole foods (or minimally processed) might help the problem.

My grocery, eating out, and alcohol expenditures have dropped significantly since starting Zepbound. The savings is probably close to paying for my monthly Lilly Direct cost. Net zero expense for the drugs for me!

Thanks for the update. Wait and see is right - I hope it produces lower drug prices but I expect it is more smoke and mirrors - it looks like something to distract from the budget battle that will knock millions off Medicaid and SNAP benefits which will destroy health and especially rural health care systems. It is all so sad and frightening. What a huge mess - somehow a promise of lowering drug prices makes no sense if so many people are at risk of losing medical coverage.
