Last week the state of NC announced that their state insurance plans would no longer cover GLP1s for obesity (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc).
The reason? In two years the prescriptions for those drugs had increased in NC (just on state plans) from 25k to 250k, with an increase in cost in the tens of millions.
My own health plan here in Texas has dropped them from coverage. Buddy of mine just got on Zepbound, said it's $550 a month out of pocket.

As for the bentcarrot one. If you ever want a chill, read through their literature. It's an injection, and you have to go a couple of weeks without sex, or else you might break it.

brokencarrot isn't nearly as catchy.

Anyone else sick and tired of the constant bombardment of drug company commercials? To me it's ridiculous all the commercials. Why are they bombarding us with commercials when it's the Drs duty to prescribe people drugs… even if someone thinks a certain drug may help them it's the Drs duty to give you a working drug for your condition

What the hell is this all about ? I have had 5-10 people ask me about this and I don't know the answer besides maybe money ?

Drugs... odd spellings with pronunciations that don't seem to match.
