Do we really need insurance to cover $100/mo meds? Insurance already doesn’t cover OTC vitamins, right?

For people making how much? Low income people are jumping through the hoops to get SNAP. $100 for them is a lot, and which they might just not have. And for insurance it would be cheaper long-run than dealing with diabetes, etc.

Anyway, why a such "submarine" attack on the $100 GLP-1 sources and why now? Well, one way of thinking would be that Trump RX just went online and there, thanks to the well known Trump's care about people's needs, the GLP-1 is $350, so one has to remove the $100 competitors.

  • It’s not a submarine attack at all. If anything I bet you these compounders are surprised they haven’t been shut down already for blatantly violating the law.

    It’s a case of trying to get so many consumers buying that regulators are scared to touch you due to blowback. Much like Uber did.
