YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We see the Ozempic commercial all the time on television. On average, adults lost up to 12 pounds while using the medication. Doctors say it's up there with the invention of penicillin, but its cost puts it out of reach for all but the richest Americans. With a third of Americans overweight and another 35% obese, it's not a trivial concern. Dr. Corey Hebery joins “On Balance With Leland Vittert” to discuss whether there is a missed opportunity to force insurers to cover the drug and offer hope to millions of priced-out Americans.
