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...

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.

The government can’t run the healthcare at the VA worth a frick and you want to take the VA and give it to everyone?

Maybe not. I just think whatever the medical team / therapists thinks is necessary should be covered by one’s insurance. They know what is needed. Nobody should have to fight.

He had brain cancer about 10 years ago. Treated in Houston and went into remission.
A couple years ago he collapsed and when his wife took him to the hospital they said the cancer was back.
They went to Emory for specialized treatment and Emory said he was too far gone they could offer hospice.
She brought him home and desperate for anything started him on a regiment of ivermectin and some other medicine I'll have to look up.
Within a month the cancer was gone.
He is still here healthy and doing fine. I talk to him and his wife all the time.
Maybe it was God performing a miracle but I was with them on this journey and I can't explain it.
Joshua Brown is the pharmacy near me I use and this is their recommended dose for healthy adults so what the frick do I have to lose?

I think you’re right. The problem is that in order to avoid the long-term complications of obesity, it’s best to start GLP1 at a younger age. The employer sponsored companies will shoulder the cost of the drug, but Medicare and managed care plans will reap the benefits later.
Of course this is twisted logic, but it’s the way insurance companies think

We should mandate that all obese people on food stamps and/or on medicaid have to take glp1 drugs. Private health insurance companies should offer to raise rates on obese unless they agree to get on glp1. It works for smoking so should work for overeaters.

I don’t doubt that many Americans are overweight, but the definition of obese and overweight is skewed.
By this chart, at 6-1 and 195, I’d be considered overweight. And everyone who sees me or knows me says I’m slim or athletic build.

This doesn’t mean that the definition is skewed. It means that our popular view of what is overweight has been distorted because of the high rates of obesity.
You’re just into the overweight range, and depending on your lean mass, you may or may not have too much fat.
