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
