Show Notes
Bostons city leaders propose restricting coverage for popular weight loss drugs like Ozempic, aiming to save millions in health insurance costs. The plan involves prior approval for doctors, potentially saving eight to nine million dollars annually. City workers face premium hikes, with family plans rising from $655 to $803. The city council is urged to push for a revote on the change by Friday, as revenues cant absorb the spike. Nationwide, cuts to these drugs are increasing, with states and cities dropping Medicaid coverage and insurers pulling benefits for thousands.
