This is good news for a couple months, but I'm afraid RFK Jr. will interfere.

My wife's life has changed dramatically since those drugs came out. We might even be able to grow old together now.

Let's see if Dr. Oz agrees!!

As it should 🌹🍷

It would also be good to have some regulation of the fast food and processed food industries. Some recommended reading

The only Glitch is trump said he was going to do away with both these plans. So No affordable HEALTHCARE for me. I just will have to hope I don’t get sick. 😕

Absolutely. If you are obese you should be able to get Ozempic free of charge. This would immediately lower the strain on our health care system. Obesity is the number one cause of dozens of other severe health conditions.

Biden was the most progressive president in American history, and progressives said he was republican-lite and didn’t bother to vote.

Until Dr Oz gets his hands on Medicare.

Very good! Too bad that whole program will be scrapped in a year or so…

What breaks my heart is people dont take advantage of the time during weight loss to learn better habits and how to enjoy food and being healthier.. It is also easy to get at cost to feed anorexia, . I totally see the value of the med as a former ICU nurse and fat person

Having ruined my gut health, I could not recommend these drugs. We need to eat local food with no labels and crush both Big Food and Big Pharma ✊

theonlypaige.bsky.social•95 days ago

I hope he does. I'm pre-diabetic but Insurance won't cover drugs that would help me. No...Insurance & big pharma want you to get sick. That keeps them rich.

How about dental and vision???

It’s a good idea because the government is responsible for the state of the American health by not having a robust food and drug administration. That will actually watch out for our health.

Fatness is also beauty!

hattrickfeverdream.bsky.social•95 days ago

the country won't be needing this weightloss drug for long. The entire nation is going on a government mandated fast.

disbroad.bsky.social•95 days ago

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly have been blissfully price gouging and making billions. Will they acquiesce to any form of price negotiation, which I believe is what it would take?
