If the insurance companies won’t step up, then they should be cut off entirely.
Obesity drugs have no place in Medicare. These people should just shove back from the table.
That is a foolish statement. The cost of obesity to insurance companies is enormous and directly affects your costs. Heart disease, and strokes to name a couple of very expensive problems that can be caused by obesity. Covering drugs that improve the chances of not getting sick is smart policy. The profits the drug manufactureres will make on these drugs will be reduced but the volume they sell will make up for it.
Pretty sure Anthony meant to say Medicaid, but doesn’t know the difference between the two, which makes his comment even more hilarious
Mark knows ball. Anthony, do less talking and more listening.
I don’t think it belongs in either. When you have pro athletes such as Venus Williams touting it, I believe it should be an elective drug. And yes, rocket scientists, I do know the difference.
Insurance companies do not see the savings so they say “no” as after all, it is all about profit and not about care.
