Forget Universal Healthcare: Start with Universal Ozempic

Another factor is metabolic changes. Up through my 20s I could eat whatever I wanted, 2nd and even 3rd helpings and was thin as a rail. In my 30s I was hit with Hashimotos thyroiditis and my metabolism slowed down significantly because my thyroid got destroyed.

Also, it's easier to stay active when you are young but some sports take their toll on knees and other joints and that may take away your ability to stay as active.

It's honestly wild how a lot of people, primarily on the right, ignore a lot of those basic realities of life that other people deal with. Especially with healthcare, and their glib "oh but I'm young and healthy and should be able to buy a cheap crappy plan that doesn't cover anything" - and at some point in the future reality will tear them down. How about listening to people with experience rather than cheerful fantasies?

I want to have affordable catastrophic care plan so that I don't have to dread 5-7 figure medical bills, especially in the event of developing some condition and being denied coverage and also unable to work to get employer sponsored plans. And I want medical providers to work on providing realistic prices where they still make profit but also make themselves accessible to cash patients (who would save for healthcare costs with pre-tax dollars via HSA).

Medicare for all is worth to explore with private insurance or cash HSA supplementing for certain treatments or faster access to certain services, specialists, out of network coverage etc.

I also don't believe it's a good idea to hand out drugs that don't have enough years of safety studies to general population. It should be something for people whose weight is a huge health risk already and they can take the risk of prolonged if not lifetime use.

This. There are a lot of medical things I want covered before this. Let’s start with EpiPens. My child’s life saving EpiPens should not cost us more than people pay for ozempic. And there are tons of other drugs that are too expensive and yet more important then GLP1’s.

The bolded. The bloated healthcare industry isn't going to like it but it's what needs to happen.

Thanks to Citizens United and “corporations are people” lobbying and campaign constructions will continue to prevent this.
