  • Resumen

  • This is an in-depth exploration of Wegovy, a weight management medication, narrated by veteran journalist Alexandra Reeves. It examines the high cost (approximately $1,349 monthly), inconsistent insurance coverage, and supply shortages that limit accessibility. The piece details how Medicare specifically excludes weight loss medications, forcing patients to make difficult financial choices. It discusses alternatives for those unable to afford Wegovy, the emergence of potentially risky compounded versions, and the ethical questions raised when effective medical treatments are available primarily to those with financial resources. Throughout the narrative, Alexandra weaves in personal stories of patients and healthcare providers while questioning societal values regarding obesity treatment and healthcare equity.
