[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Ozempic/Semi-G gonna cause inequity in people from different classes appearances?  In a few years are only the lower earners gonna have weight problems?  I feel like everyone around me is getting thin and fast![/quote]

My neighbor with Medicaid gets Mounjaro for free. I saw her over the summer for the first time in months and couldn't believe how much weight she'd lost. She told me she started the shot after Thanksgiving in 2022. I told her I had just started but didn't know how long I could do it because my insurance wouldn't cover it and it was $350 OOP. I was on week 3 of my freebie month and thought I could swing $350/month for maybe 2 months.

My doctor fought with my insurance and finally got them to cover Ozempic. It doesn't work as great as Mounjaro for me but it's something.

If anyone suffers it will be the middle class like me - people whose insurance won't cover it and who can't afford to pay OOP each month.

My brother has his insurance through the ACA (well, through the virginia marketplace this year) and because he makes less than $40k/year, his monthly insurance cost is only $39/month. He has great insurance, too. I looked at the same plan for myself and it would cost me $422/month.    [/quote]
