GLP-1 Drugs: Miracle Cure or Wallet Guillotine?
So let me get this straight: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are not just making jeans fit better; they might help prevent Alzheimer's, addiction, and even sleep apnea. 'Given the drugs' newness and skyrocketing popularity, it is important to systematically examine their effects on all body systems,' cautions researcher Ziyad Al-Aly. Yet for $1,000 a month, the benefits risk disappearing if you stop the meds, side effects include everything from pancreatitis to arthritis, and coverage is patchy at best. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where this isn't also a pharmaceutical payday and insurance nightmare?
