I’m fortunate that I have retiree insurance that covers anything I need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’m a retiree also and have company provided drug coverage, no premiums but do have a $5 co pay on any prescription drugs I may need. In 12 months I spend $60 for insulin and that’s it.
A few months ago my doc took me off insulin and put me on Ozempic, still the same $5 per month but it’s only one jab per week instead of fourteen and it’s working great. The weight loss aspect of Ozempic is not a positive for me, it’s a side effect as I do not need to lose weight.
Ozempic:
“Helps your pancreas produce more insulin when your blood sugar is high
“Helps prevent your liver from making and releasing too much sugar
“Slows down food leaving your stomach”
