They've already done most of the work. The enormous risk is behind them, as are the expensive human trials. Most of the marketing is too; Ozempic is a household name. All that's left is pulling in the profits to recoup all those expenses.
Public health care systems around the world provide good value for money. Private ones do too. The US system is a weird mix of private and hamstrung public that makes it an outlier on the bad side of the price/performance line. I doubt governments buying patents would improve that situation. Just negotiate group purchases like everyone else.
