We’ve all heard about Ozempic. But there are the GLP-1s we colloquially call “Ozempic” (see also: Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) and then there’s the cultural role of Ozempic.
Given the price of these drugs, barriers to access, and class implications of weight stigma, this topic presents a unique opening to talk about inequality in health outcomes and the profitable business of individualizing social problems.
In part one of this rare two-part series, we’re covering:
- The wage penalties associated with (and relationship between) weight and women, and the parallels between the American attitudes about thinness and wealth
- The Danish pharma company that put Europe’s entire economy on its back
- A conversation with a 12-year veteran of drug and device advocacy who said some of the surrounding issues represent, and I quote, “everything wrong with health policy in our country,” especially given the shortages, costs, and online pharmacies springing up to bridge that gap with non-FDA-approved solutions
Let’s take a peek at the inside the business of weight loss drugs, and join us here next week for part two.
