I was prescribed Ozempic three years ago and about a year ago I switched to Wegovy. And this whole time my health insurance has been covering it. Last week I went to pick up my prescription and the pharmacist told me that I needed prior authorization. So I called my primary care doctor to let them know about the situation. The next day I got a message from my doctor's office informing me that Wegovy was a plan exclusion. I also called my company's pharmacy benefits manager and told them about the situation as well. The lady I talked to told me about how they have a service that sold a compounded glp-1 alternative. I looked into it, and it costs 229.00 a month, which I still cannot afford. I find it very sketchy that the PBM has a glp-1 service and that my insurance company will no longer cover my Wegovy.  I have noticed that this is an issue everywhere. It makes no sense at all not to cover these medications. There's a reason that it is called "health" insurance. This country has a severe obesity epidemic. Obesity is a chronic disease. It is unacceptable to not cover a life saving medication and then people have to get care from complications of obesity which are way more expensive than a weekly injection or a pill. Did the health insurance industry not learn anything from the murder of that United Healthcare guy. He was murdered because Luigi Mangione was mad about the sorry healthcare system in this country. That should have been a wake up call to change the way healthcare is provided in this country. We, the most powerful industrialized country in the world have a terrible healthcare system because all the insurance companies care about is money. They would rather cover a complication of obesity like an open heart surgery which costs thousands of dollars than cover a medication that doesn't even cost that much to manufacture. Universal healthcare is not perfect either but would cover everybody and makes more sense. But people cry and whine that it's socialism. It's not socialism, it's caring for people, and makes more sense. If you feel the same way I do, please sign this petition. Hopefully we will be heard and make a difference.
