My last employer based your insurance cost on you income. I was paying 4x what the housekeeper was paying despite being statistically much much less likely to have a chronic health issue.

Sure! GLP-1’side effects should fill that gap and thin that herd a bit.

Food companies are already experimenting on ingredients that will entice people to eat even if they’re using GLP-1s.

GLP-1s are also disrupting the food and restaurant industries.

Everyone is onboard with bankrupting the wealthy fricks profiting off of your sick grandmother...


Until someone suggests voting their existence away by nationalizing healthcare.

What benefit does that do to take it proactively? Serious question, I didn't know people did that.

They’ll make it harder for them to overcharge with less demands

To me this is a fabulous revelation. Maybe the crappy healthcare industry can tidy up, restructure, and get on with IMPROVING their business model and overall service.

I have been to several hospitals over the past to or three years. Sadly, many looked like scenes from a 3rd world country. Without a doubt King Obama's crowning achievement of Obamacare has wrought chaos industry wide in healthcare.

No, they are perfectly legal. Mostly available to the self-employed. There are also self-funded options that are available for businesses that are underwritten making them a less expensive option.

It is fascinating to see how a pharmaceutical class can rapidly disrupt entire medical sectors and hospital revenue models centered around treating obesity. The drop in bariatric surgery volumes shows just how quickly patient choices are shifting.
