[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, some people are furious at the discovery that they aren’t thin because of their moral superiority. It is a blow to their sense of self. [/quote]

Agree! I didn’t read the article but I am thrilled for all the people getting skinny from taking Ozempic! It brings me joy that naturally thin people are irritated over this. [/quote]

I'm not irritated by it at all! On the contrary, good for whomever takes these meds and loses weight and then gets healthy. It's a huge burden taken off of our already broken and expensive healthcare system.  [/quote]

Well, I’m glad people can avoid heath care complications associated with obesity for their own sake of quality of life.  But let’s not pretend putting all the overweight people on a drug that costs $1000/month that they need to take the rest of their life is somehow cutting healthcare cost[/quote]

Don't know who is paying $1K a month but my step daughter has hers completely covered, she's with Kaiser. She however actually needs to lose about 60lbs, so maybe it's all in how the doctor justifies the need? There are a lot of people on this class of medications, with the vast vast majority not being able to afford the $1K a month you're talking about, or even $100 a month. [/quote]
