“…
Officials said that within the next few months, Americans would be able to use their own money to buy Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound — which are both taken as injections — directly from manufacturers for an average of $350 a month, depending on the dose. The officials said they expected the average to fall to $245 over the next two years.

Starting around the middle of next year, Medicare and Medicaid coverage for the injectable drugs will be priced at $245 a month for beneficiaries who meet certain medical criteria, like having severe obesity or having obesity as well as kidney disease or heart failure. …”

Someone off camera replied, “The site is open, and it will launch in terms of giving people prices before the end of the year.”

“Okay, got to make sure it’s successful, it’s got my name on it,” Trump replied.

“I don’t want to be like the train they’re building in California, which has about 15,000 percent cost overrun. Or the Obama, the beautiful Obama building that he’s building in Chicago for the museum, which has now shuttered up and dead. They got it up, and they couldn’t finish. It’s about, would you say, five years behind schedule? And about 2000% over budget, then he tells us how to run Medicaid.”…”

That would be .398 lbs. He said million and not billion but it's equally as laughable.

His m’s sound remarkably like b’s. I’ve listened to it a few times and either one could be billion or million to my ear. But yeah million is probably more likely despite the caption.
