As a Dane living about one hour drive from the headquarters I can say that Novo Nordisk probably is the company in Denmark with the best reputation. It’s been like that for more than 20 years from my perspective. If you work there they will treat you good. And the thing about flashing your wealth that’s so true! Janteloven it’s called in Danish. Just because you have more than others doesn’t mean you are more important.
Janteloven is both a good and sad part of danish cultur!! I think its okey to brag about your achievement, but because of janteloven people dont do it.
@@JoopHbRPerhaps because there are already problems with Muslim immigrants and their children, and their children… down to third generation. I work with two, and they’re great.

Very interesting and informative. I didn’t know Novo Nordisk was organised like this. We have a few companies organized in a similar manner here in Norway
they did dwarf us on Ukraine military aid related to gdp though, as well as completely overhauling their military and restarting naval and weapons production now. but ofc you can't compare them with us when we have 50 times more people lol
@@hulejul9748 buddy you didn’t even address my original point lol. The US crushes Denmark in percentage of GDP spent on defense.

Jens Juul Holst is the professor at the University of Copenhagen who drove the characterization GLP-1 (wegovy and Ozempic aka semaglutide are GLP-1 agonists) and its functions. Most of my peers don't like his teaching, although I enjoyed it. I appreciate the translational research carried out by companies like Novo Nordisk but these efforts are much less extensive than the basic research that underlines them.

The Baltics and The Baltic are different things. While you're absolutely right Denmark/Copenhagen is not commonly associated with the Baltic Sea region (unlike e.g. Gotland), it technically belongs there. In some sense it's more true than Denmark being Scandinavian, because it's really quite far from the Scandes - and a lot flatter as well ;)
From my admittedly limited time there I'd say the difference between Denmark and what most Americans would think of as a European socialist state is that Denmark has a freer market with less government interventionism than a lot of other European countries - albeit with higher taxes. It also has demonstrably more respect for the individual. Something like Christiania would never be tolerated somewhere like France. So it kind of has the welfare state side of a socialist country without as much of the authoritarianism/top-down control aspect.
While companies like Coca-Cola contribute to obesity through sugary beverages, pharmaceutical companies such as Novo Nordisk profit from this issue by selling weight loss medications like Wegovy
They have dropped quite a few places. They used to be the 12th biggest company in the world, a month or two ago. Now they are 21th. Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Saudi Aramco, Meta (Facebook), Tesla, Berkshire, TSMC, Broadcom, Eli Lilly, JPMorgan, Walmart, Visa, UnitedHealth, Exxon Mobil, Oracle, Mastercard and Tencent are now bigger, in that order. Novo stocks have dropped around 25% recently.
She isnt a millionaire most likely because she made the discovery while working under a company and therefore the company owns the rights to the results. If the company wasnt greedily raking in the cash for the product, the drug would not cost so much.
It's not the fault of Novo, that the medicine is so expensive in the US. The demand for these drugs worldwide, are so big that the company is now investing 25% of its yearly revenue, to build new factories. Someone has to pay for that. Over time, the drug will fall in price, but the current costs we pay in other countries, is needed to get over this hurdle.
60 Minutes should look into the pancreatitis that is rampant in patients who are on Ozempic... I had a patient who was hospitalized for over 2 months with the worst pancreatitis I've ever seen... 4 abdominal drains... he lost 40 pounds the hard way after just 4 doses of Ozempic.
For a company that's charging Americans 100 times more than everybody else, this is way too nice of a portrayal. Their Insulin story is als not as nice as portrayed, as they're only one of three companies producing it and very much part of that cartel, regardless of the original patent's license agreement to be "for the benefit of society". But of course, Novo Nordisk's ad spending with CBS is significant.
I once dated one of Novo's financial specialists, and she told me that Novo actually still sells insulin in Iran, even though it became unprofitable a while ago, because if they left Iran then a lot of Iranians would die from a lack of insulin because there aren't enough of Novo's competitors present in Iran to replace the supply of insulin that they currently sell
I have always thought that we in the US should outlaw such advertisements for drugs that require a prescription. The target audience for such efforts are physicians and therefore the saturation of advertising $ against the general public is annoying. In addition, the obesity and type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance problem is caused by the government promoted diet (SAD) and the promotion and subsidies granted to manufacturers of highly processed "foods'".
Denmark, is part of Scandinavia, not the Baltics. The Baltics is not part of Scandinavia. 44 seconds in, you ruined the rest of the message, because you cannot think for your self.
I invested in Novo Nordisk as an American here in California. This company makes our pharmaceutical companies look like the military industrial complex 😂 I love Denmark 🇩🇰 🇺🇸
What an insult...Denmark is NOT a Baltic country. 🤔🇩🇰 Baltic countries is eastern Europe and Denmark is the Northern Europe called Scandinavia. Doesn't 60 minutes know that ? 😳
Novo is big on market cap, but Maersk shipping was traditionally the big company measures at revenue, ships and global presence. Carlsberg, Pandora & LEGO on brand recognition. ISS on number of employees. But several Danish companies are big within their segment. Arla Foods as a dairy. Danish Crown on pork. Novozymes. Grundfos on pumps. Danfoss. DSV. Vestas Wind Systems.
Yes, you are correct - however none of the aforementioned companies are, or have been as big as Novo Nordisk has, furthermore, have not had as big of an economical impact as Novo Nordisk. men vi er fandme gode, det er vi. Det er helt vildt at se Arla i USA, VWS vindmøller over alt på jorden osv.
As someone who actually needs these drugs due to diabetes, I'm going to call out the "capitalist" remark. Profit should have no place in healthcare. Happy for the Danes, but values? Same old same old. I'm not fooled by that song and dance. Shame on Novo, and shame on 60 minutes for basic propaganda. The founders would not approve.
Denmark and Novo Nordisk is so NOT America and for the better. By so many matrix it is far beon the US regarding standard of living, happines, safety and lack of corruption. 94% of the population dont mind paying high taxes, because it is redistributed back in the individuel and invested in the country for everyone to enjoy.
Denmark is not even close to baltic. Now YOU know that. But we are a part of Scandinavian countrys, Denmark, Norway, Sweeden and Soumi, (Finland). American know your geografi.
Novo Nordisk is certainly helpful to the Danish economy but please don't talk about 'trickle down'! The concept is abused to make people accept inequality in society. This is very lucrative to the rich. The most helpful effect of Novo Nordisk is taxes, company taxes and taxes paid by the many scientists with high salaries. The tax money allows Denmark to be e.g. in front in the struggle for freedom and democracy, no country donate so much to Ukraine compared to the number of citizens. These Novo Nordisk scientists repeatedly produces cash cows to the company. When Wegovy and Ozempic begin to fade they may have something new, Nokia only had telephones. Though nothing may beat Wegovy as obesity is a natural thing in a society with the structure of the US.
You're talking rubbish. There is lots of trickle down. Novo is not only a company, it is a workplace and they employ thousands of people in both Denmark and all over the globe. And those employees earn money, which they then use to buy things and services thus creating new jobs. On top of that there is the health benefits coming from using the drugs that Novo make, those benefits not only help the individual they benefit their employees, their families and society as a whole.
@@bzdtemp No rubbish here! The effects you mention are true but overestimated except the last part. The rich use different ways to stay rich, they can easily support the parties securing their status and they've successfully created the myth of the trickle down effect. As in all good manipulations there is an element of truth in it. In countries where the mass medias are mostly controlled by the rich for instance the US and UK we have seen a dramatic rise in inequality. The recent election of the convicted felon is caused by the frustration of the losers of that game.

Would be great to know Novo's sale price of Ozempic to US pharma. Yes, there are other costs involved in providing a product; however, the report suggests IT IS NOT Novo doing the big mark ups $$, mmh.
I think Anders is forgetting some Danish giants: LEGO, the world’s biggest toy company; DSV, the largest logistics firm globally; and Maersk, the leader in container shipping worldwide!
Tiny? We are the biggest in Europe after Russia. And if we count ezz then... And we are by far the largest by area by Capita. Almost a km2 per person. If you count Siberia and Sahara and Alaska then Greenland is more than worthy of counting too.
If your interested, Novo Nordisk stock represents good value right now, its recently dipped and buying at a discount makes a lot of of sense, it's the current market leader with Ozempic/Wegovy
NOT to profit from insulin, ha. Thank goodness many people from the US cross the border into Mexico to buy their insulin at affordable prices, yes, same quality.
Ozempic has shown promise in managing blood sugar levels and aiding weight loss. However, it's important to be aware of potential side effects While current studies indicate Ozempic's effectiveness, long-term research is necessary to fully understand its sustained benefits and potential risks over extended use. th-cam.com/video/dyDMfJNTtzg/w-d-xo.html
What's interesting is if the CEO is only getting a 10million pay package why the hell does it cost $1400-$1600 in the US not all insurances cover it, also I've heard other countries only pay $80-$100 for it..... So who the hell is at fault for the price in the US?
How do you not understand your own medical system? In The USA the middleman, i.e. pharmacy benefit managers (PBM's), provide a useless but artificially necessary service which raises drug prices by like 1/3, then you have drug manufacturers which have monopolistic power, insurance companies, private equity debt leveraging on hospitals, device manufacturers, distributors, billing & data companies. Each of these takes a nicely sized gross margin and it compounds to make it very expensive for you at sale. Drugs are cheaper elsewhere largely because of state bargaining, stricter regulation, public insurance, public hospitals and streamlined insurance and tax regulations.
It’s 95 euro here in my country. Our government negotiates with the manufacturers and sets a price they are willing to pay. The only downside is that if there is a shortage, and there is nothing in the contract about it, the countries that pay for example $1600 will get it first cause of the profit margins.
It’s the result of the fragmented US healthcare system with actors such as PBMs and other actors lacking pooled bargaining power. But Americans want that, they think a one payer system is socialism and bad.
The CEO was asked this in the Congressional hearings they mentioned in this video. While he wouldn't (or couldn't) say exactly how much Novo makes per unit, it's estimated to be somewhere around 20-30% of the price. So that means that 70-80% of the price is "wasted" in the US system of middlemen and insurance companies. It's an absurd system that only benefits a very small group of people.
About 5 dollars to make and it's available here for 1000.00 plus dollars .In other countries it's about 89.00 a month . Insurance won't approve but hospitals love it because if they keep you sick they make money 🤑🤑
You don’t consider the r&d for this drug and all the drugs that didn’t make it to market. Salaries. The building of factories. And don’t forget who makes the most money on these drugs, those are the American intermediaries! I can recommend to watch the senate hearing with Jørgensen. Senators were asking him how to fix the broken American system!
Besides, very few Americans actually pay that price. For those poor who cannot afford and qualify, Novo has a program which gives it away free. It’s called PAP.
It is not how it works in Denmark.... you will typically not get a large bonus just because you discoveres at new valuable product..... you will get a you salary and a little bonus..... and you could get a promotion and a little ekstra pay....... I Denmark alle people almost earn the same.... not a big difference........

If your interested, Novo Nordisk stock represents good value right now, its recently dipped and buying at a discount makes a lot of of sense, it's the current market leader with Ozempic/Wegovy
Denmark is not in the Baltic.
It’s the capital of Finland.
The Baltic region, which they are referring to, is the countries that have shorelines along the Baltic Sea. Denmark is very much a part of this.
NOT to profit from insulin, ha. Thank goodness many people from the US cross the border into Mexico to buy their insulin at affordable prices, yes, same quality.
Denmark is not a Baltic country sir. Try again :)
This is a paid promotion. Why isn't it mentioned?
Because it's a documentary.
@@kieranwhittemore1010 at this point this is more a giant commercial than a documentary with actual information.
❤
Didn't bother to watch this. Just thought I'd comment fake news.
You are commenting on something you haven't seen, so your comment is fake.
@kieranwhittemore1010 don't have to see it. Its CNN. ITS FAKE
Welcome to the most wackest place where we pay 38% in tax n a burger cost 20 $😅
Ozempic has shown promise in managing blood sugar levels and aiding weight loss. However, it's important to be aware of potential side effects
While current studies indicate Ozempic's effectiveness, long-term research is necessary to fully understand its sustained benefits and potential risks over extended use. th-cam.com/video/dyDMfJNTtzg/w-d-xo.html
What's interesting is if the CEO is only getting a 10million pay package why the hell does it cost $1400-$1600 in the US not all insurances cover it, also I've heard other countries only pay $80-$100 for it..... So who the hell is at fault for the price in the US?
DRUG COMPANYS AND THE GOVERNMENT
How do you not understand your own medical system? In The USA the middleman, i.e. pharmacy benefit managers (PBM's), provide a useless but artificially necessary service which raises drug prices by like 1/3, then you have drug manufacturers which have monopolistic power, insurance companies, private equity debt leveraging on hospitals, device manufacturers, distributors, billing & data companies.
Each of these takes a nicely sized gross margin and it compounds to make it very expensive for you at sale. Drugs are cheaper elsewhere largely because of state bargaining, stricter regulation, public insurance, public hospitals and streamlined insurance and tax regulations.
It’s 95 euro here in my country. Our government negotiates with the manufacturers and sets a price they are willing to pay. The only downside is that if there is a shortage, and there is nothing in the contract about it, the countries that pay for example $1600 will get it first cause of the profit margins.
It’s the result of the fragmented US healthcare system with actors such as PBMs and other actors lacking pooled bargaining power. But Americans want that, they think a one payer system is socialism and bad.
The CEO was asked this in the Congressional hearings they mentioned in this video. While he wouldn't (or couldn't) say exactly how much Novo makes per unit, it's estimated to be somewhere around 20-30% of the price. So that means that 70-80% of the price is "wasted" in the US system of middlemen and insurance companies. It's an absurd system that only benefits a very small group of people.
take note USA

Imagine that , NO PHARMACEUTICAL GREED !!!

Paying ceo 10 mil euros
Oh yea
The non profits
About 5 dollars to make and it's available here for 1000.00 plus dollars .In other countries it's about 89.00 a month . Insurance won't approve but hospitals love it because if they keep you sick they make money 🤑🤑
In this part of the world hospitals are free and non-profit. Life saving medicines for things like diabetes are free
Just wait until a 20% tariff gets added.
You don’t consider the r&d for this drug and all the drugs that didn’t make it to market. Salaries. The building of factories. And don’t forget who makes the most money on these drugs, those are the American intermediaries! I can recommend to watch the senate hearing with Jørgensen. Senators were asking him how to fix the broken American system!
Besides, very few Americans actually pay that price. For those poor who cannot afford and qualify, Novo has a program which gives it away free. It’s called PAP.
Do you know for a fact, that it cost 5 bucks to make? I don’t think so…
novo norrdic mafia
PBM mafia. Not Novo Nordisk.
Here they come…
Next step: invent more diabetics
Easy on the puns
Impressive. … good and wish to be Danish… want to live their !
So basically, lie and don't be honest.. This is BS
Oh yessssa
Nobody is profiting from insulin today
She dont care about money cause SHE HAVE A LOT OF MONEY
It is not how it works in Denmark.... you will typically not get a large bonus just because you discoveres at new valuable product..... you will get a you salary and a little bonus..... and you could get a promotion and a little ekstra pay....... I Denmark alle people almost earn the same.... not a big difference........

Small error: we do not do fishing in denmark! The agriculture has killed all our ocean life 😢
Just came back from a stay at Ubberup adult education. Lars was one of my teachers. Learned a lot ! Looking forward to going back ☺ ! Lars is so right.., so much depends on you willing to change your lifestyle. Medicine is not gonna do it for you !
My friend Kel Varnson, recommended this to me so I saw my doctor, Dr. Van Nostrand and he prescribed it to me. I've lost a few pounds so far.
60 minutes really is a show designed for idiots that wanna feel like they're smart ...
You're not very convincing without any argument.
