In a recent tweet, Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) criticized the pricing of a popular diabetes drug, Ozempic, and its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:NVO).

What Happened: Sanders took to X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday to express his concerns about the pricing of Ozempic. He suggested that the drug’s manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, will make billions of dollars from U.S. consumers annually, charging them 10-15 times more than people in other countries.

“Ozempic will likely become one of the best-selling pharmaceutical products in history. Its manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, will make billions of dollars from U.S. consumers every year. Americans should not be charged 10-15x more for this drug than people in other countries,” Sanders said.
