They go to all the bother of removing food dyes. But instead of going after sugar and carbs, they go for weight loss drugs.

There seems no rhyme or reason in anything they do.

or not.

I suppose that they could do a long term cost versus benefit analysis. My feeling is that the insurance companies rarely view other than the short term cost.

It is a good day. The birds are singing, the dog is playful, the pantry and freezer are well stocked. I'm going to head out to pickup some groceries and other items mid-day.

drugs than cover the complications of obesity.

help for those who are already obese. The question is should they have the opportunity to try a medication that has been successful for others or will only people with the financial resources to buy it have access to it.

... "medicines" that cause weight loss on the same Medicare/Medicade program he seeks to destroy??????

for the first time EVER. I think the SS raise will be 2.5% or 2.7%. Groceries are still going up,gas here is up 40 cents per gallon since Fat Hoover took over. Utility costs are through the roof and we have a new rate increase that starts in Sept. It never FUCKING ends.....

But they want to see if they can make Ozempic affordable?

Runs deep in America.
Trump hates fat women
This double standard regarding weight and fat phobia has to die.

Those weight loss meds are rough to take and tough on your body. You can never stop taking it or the weight comes back. The social pressure to be thin will kill some of the desperate people that take those drugs.
