This would likely need Congressional support would it not?
who says lobbying doesn’t work.........................
I don’t really know. They have delegated so much of their authority to these bureaucrats it’s difficult to say...........
I’m old enough to remember when JFK promoted actual physical fitness to remedy America’s health problems.
Joe’s acting like he’s going to be president for another term.
“Biden proposal”
These death throws are tiresome.
When zey are forced to eat the bugs, the weight problem will go away.
There has to be huge profits being made on these new drugs. Every 10 minute ad segment on Newmax has a commercial on Wegovy. Separately, I read the these new drugs work by paralyzing the stomach muscles and otherwise destroy muscle mass throughout the body, perhaps including the heart.
Big Pharma, still sucking off the government's tax payer dollar$
We provided them big profits for years, now it's about time that Big Pharma gets weaned off tax payer's Largess
You gotta wonder,..don't you ?
Tell me that no more “Biden proposals” will be adopted.
Medicade already pays for Wegovy.
Just sayin’...
Medicare?..............
This is pretty funny, getting government assistance from food stamps and then getting weight loss drugs from Medicaid.
Well, no, not really.
great, now taxpayers will be expected to subsidise their obesity and the medication that fights it.
If Biden had any brains his proposal would be no EBT cards excepted at McDonalds and other fat promoter places and no stores take them for cakes sodas...........................
He abuses stupidity
Here’s the real problem. The drug costs 139.00 a month in Denmark where it’s made. In the US it’s over a 1000.00 a month because Medicare was prohibited from negotiating a price. And no insurance covers it for weight lost due to it’s cost. If you are close to 70 with bad knees and gaining weight because of of a failing endocrine system, it’s literally a matter of life and death. Don’t believe the propaganda. The price has been artificially high to gouge America. A weight loss drug that works by making you eat less and burns fat. It stopped my weight gain. At an out of pocket cost at 8 times the Danish price. If you charged diabetic 1000 a month they would pay it or die. High weight causes many other health issues. It should be no brainer.
Sure! Why not use a med that shrinks heart muscle?!
Would be cheaper than treating all the obesity related ailments.
