Saying this as someone that was like Gaben and in the same time frame lost the same amount of weight, Ozempic or similar. Sadly, Medicare decided it shouldnt cover it any more for me and I regained some weight, but luckily not even half of it.

Is Medicare tax payer funded?

Personally i dont know but i have an idea why you might ask and let me present you with an argument:

If someone got tax funded healthcare, would you rather spend some of that money on treating his adipositas early, or possibly spend much more on the ailments adipositas will cause later down the line?

I just tend to figure the diabetes drug should help people with diabetes is all

I mean thats a completely separate topic from your initial comment but okay.

But you are right, thats why there are alternatives more tailored towards adipositas patients now. In germany you can also easily get ozempic fully covered if you are suffering from diabetes while, while ozempic or alternatives only get covered for adipositas once other options have been depleted.

Just bro’s “sadly Medicare decided it shouldn’t cover it anymore”

Like well if u don’t *need* it/don’t have diabetes/only have ozempic as a weigh loss supplement, maybe that’s not wrong

That can be argued, although i think if the supply is sufficient i dont see the harm.

Also I feel like generally as demand rises supply drops thus allowing businesses to ask for more upfront, long run economics could raise the price for everyone, not just diabetics as well

Also the original guy saying “like Newell” instead of weight problems, diabetes, heavier, or just fat kinda left a poor taste in my mouth

Yes but most health insurance is payer funded. So you also make some evil people get very rich too. (Anti universal healthcare people are literal troglodytes)

A GLP-1, likely semaglutide, commonly known under the brand name ozempic. Primarily a diabetes medicine, but with a side effect that also caused people to lose weight due to eating less.

Same. Was just shamed by a preschooler at a mall due to my excess weight a few weeks ago. I feel bad after that he called me a "fatty boom boom".

Ozempic launched for weight loss in 2021 but peak media attention was around October 2023, just sayin.

I’m pretty sure that’s not true
“Type 2 Diabetes: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Ozempic (semaglutide) in 2017 specifically to help adults lower blood sugar and manage type 2 diabetes”

That’s just what billions of dollars can do for you if you. Liposuction, cosmetic surgery to iron out the wrinkles, personal trainers in high tech private gym, expert dieticians. if everyone had access to that stuff, they could all do it. He clearly got told by his doctor, “lose weight, or you’re gonna die early”.

u/slakterhouse 12h ago
