We knew this day was coming. The big news in drug pricing landed Friday, with diabetes and weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy leading the list of 15 medications whose prices will be negotiated this year under the Inflation Reduction Act, a signature achievement for the Biden administration.

STAT’s Rachel Cohrs Zhang has the story and Joe Grogan has his take in this First Opinion.
