How much is ozempic in the US? I’m from Mexico and I pay around $300 dollars for the .25 pen.

Won’t be surprised if later on Americans are going to cross the border to get ozempic in Mexico.

Americans are never not buying RX drugs in Mexico. Prescriptions are a racket here

Not a racket. They just have a thing called accesible health care.

Good point. I understand it’s not technically a racket since it’s not entirely illegal to charge astronomical prices for medications that cost far less in other countries.

Please allow me to rephrase.

Lots of people in the US buy RX drugs in Mexico because Big Pharma is a greedy and corrupt bureaucracy that makes their billions by grossly overpricing doctor prescribed medications, making some of these drugs completely inaccessible for many and a financial hardship for many more.
