Big Pharma in action.

Heck I lost 50 lbs. by quitting sugar carbonated soft drinks, also non-sugar carbonated soft drinks, just stuck with water and juice.

If it is effective Medicare shouldn’t approve it otherwise they will go bankrupt sooner.

So I got to pay for some fatty to get a shot instead of them buying a gym membership?

That’s fair.

Nah, it can’t be so easy.

It’s got to be hard and take all kinds of pharma pocket lining expensive meds to let people continue their destructive lifestyles.

““It’s not sustainable,” North Carolina Treasurer Dale Folwell, who oversees state workers’ health insurance, lamented at a recent board meeting. “It’ll sink the plan.””

Tell them it’s for Ukrainians, moslems and Mexicans.

Aside from a pepsi or coke after lunch during high school, for me soft drinks had been the exception, until I got married at 24. I was only drinking soda pop when out somewhere. Marriage kept me home, so it became something I only drank when at a special gathering.

Energy drinks?.... never had one. But I know people that are addicted to them.

Most heavy people simply don’t have physically demanding jobs, yet continue to eat and drink like they do.

Maybe pharmaceutical companies shouldn’t charge so much. I was on mounjaro, A cousin to ozempic. Worked great -— lost 25# and had great diabetes control. But I got tired of spending $500+ every month, after insurance. When my doctor decided to change the clinic to concierge and shuffle to nurse practitioners,those who didn’t want to spend thousands a year for the pleasure, I switched to a community clinic in my town. Yes, I see a nurse practioner, but they always get me in the same day, and they accept Medicare assignment -— $35 a visit, including labs! And they have some sort of deal with the government or the pharmaceutical company, to supply Victoza injections for $18/month. It’s a cousin to mounjaro, and is not quite as good as mounjaro for weight loss, but keeps my diabetes in check. Before I used that, I went back to metformin, 500 mg/day plus berberine supplement, 1-3 x day. a1c 6.5, blood sugars less than 100 fasting and 2hr post prandial. Even the berberine did help reduce my appetite, but I’m a great cheater, and it still controlled my bs.
