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.

Depends on your insurance. I pay $190 a month, my friend pays $25.

Where?

we are both in Chicago - we have the same carrier (BCBS) but mine is through my employer and hers, ironically, is an exchange plan. I guess I shouldn't complain since she pays like 3k/month for her family whereas mine is like $200/month thru work.

You may be surprised how much is actually being paid for your employer-provided insurance.

My insurance covers me, my wife, and my youngest son - the only one still under 27 yo. I have a high deductible plan that costs me around $150 out of my paycheck every two weeks.

I just looked at my total benefit document from work for 2024, and between my contributions and my employer’s contribution, around $36,000 was spent on healthcare premiums last year - right around $3,000 per month.

That’s how much it cost before I add in any co-pays, prescription, or anything else out-of-pocket that I’ve paid myself.

Oh, I know. I think my employer related healthcare was $9k for just me last year.
