Trump admin won't let Medicare cover anti-obesity drugs

[no_hypocrisy]

4. It seems to me that it would be more expensive for Medicare to pay for

obesity, heart disease, diabetes, etc. than to have it pay for Ozempic, etc.

Here's the thing: a lot of women inadvertently gain weight around and after menopause. Presenting myself as Exhibit One. My GYN told me it's hormonal and it's hard to lose the new weight.

I'm now seeing a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and leg vein doctors because of the weight. And for now, Medicare is paying for it all. The program would save a boatload of $$ if I could drop my weight, drop my blood pressure, and drop my blood sugar by using a weight-loss pharmaceutical.
