The new obesity drugs
Joe Biden wants to increase access to obesity drugs
US President Joe Biden has put forward a proposal that would increase access to obesity drugs in the government health care programs Medicare and Medicaid. Several media reports.
Currently, the programs cover the cost of the preparation for people who suffer from, among other things, diabetes. But the proposal means that millions more elderly and poor people will have access to medicines such as Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy, writes Bloomberg.
The drugs can cost up to $1,000 a month for the uninsured, and the change is expected to open up a larger market for pharmaceutical giants Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.

The development of AI
The AI Commission: Invest 12 billion over five years
Sweden needs a boost in knowledge, an investment in cutting-edge research and a joint AI infrastructure for the entire public sector. These are some of the conclusions of the AI commission's report, which was presented on Tuesday, eight months earlier than planned.
- AI will change everything, just as the railway, electricity and the telephone did 150 years ago, said the chairman of the commission Carl-Henric Svanberg at the press conference.
The commission proposes 75 measures which are estimated to cost SEK 12 billion over the next five years and SEK 17 billion over the next ten years.

Dangerous chemicals can be hidden in online purchases from China
Clothes marketed as "buttery soft leather" or "finest cashmere" may in fact be synthetic materials, according to a review by Sydsvenskan.
The newspaper has ordered goods from the so-called dropshipping trade - trading places without their own stock - from China and had Lund University examine them.
- You don't have to be a doctor in chemistry to say that this is all very synthetic, says Martin Ek Rosén, docent and lecturer in material chemistry at Lund University, to Sydsvenskan.
The Chemicals Inspectorate believes that dangerous chemicals, such as phthalates and short-chain chlorinated paraffins, may be present in the products. They are suspected of being carcinogenic or endocrine disruptors.
