I have been obese my entire life u til I started taking GLP medication. I have loss 110 lbs and now Caremark is taking this away from me. They have no medical degree to say I don’t need this and others and drop our coverage! If we show success they should allow us to be covered and if our doctors say it’s needed then they should cover!!
karrie supported: Obesity Disease Health CoverageThis drug has helped me lose weight resulting in relief of some of the chronic pain I suffer from on a daily basis . I could barely wear a bra from the pain. I tried for 4 months to lose the same weight I just lost in 4 weeks. What happened after I lost it killing by body to do so and not being able to do anything but exercise an hour a day? Prednisone for a month for autominnue issues put it back on in 3 weeks. Why should we have surgeries when we can prevent other diseases, improve our health and our quality of life? Because the 1% loses money. I stopped taking other medications since taking this. Stop being gready! You hand out needles to addicts let the public have the tools they need to assist in their long term health goals. Anything else is just being grimey lowlife drug dealers
Christina supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsAfter using other weight loss drugs, my primary doctor prescribed GLS-1. It is not covered by my insurance, only one of the several pharmacies carry the brand prescription and I can not afford to pay the costs of brand prescriptions. I have arthritis in both my knees and it is imperative that I lose weight. If the compound medication is not available I will not be able to use this medication.
Susan supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsAs someone who struggles with insulin resistance PCOS it’s not a matter of if but WHEN I will have diabetes. It’s awful that we have medication at our hands that can prevent diabetes yet we’re not allowed to have it without being diabetic. Not to mention diabetes automatically cuts your life short and I’m a parent of a special needs child and can not have my life cut short due to something my body can not control. These companies need to do better!
Briana supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsI can't afford big pharma prices and they do this on purpose. This is the only solution for me and now to have it being taken away while the rich enjoy is just another slap in the face. I just want to be healthy and happy in a body I can rely on.
Kaylyn supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsMy insurance will never cover these meds for weight loss. I have used compounded tirzepatide for just under one year and have lost 100 pounds. I’m finally heathy and feel good about myself. I’m terrified of this no longer being available to me. Please do the right thing and let us continue on our journey of attaining a healthy future!
Tara supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsI was rejected by insurance to receive name brand options, despite my doctor thinking I should take it for weight loss. I wasn’t fat enough, and I wasn’t sickly enough… I guess an ounce of prevention (or 2.5mL) isn’t worth a pound of cure. I also have Crohns Disease, and as we find out more and more, we are discovering autoimmune/inflammatory disorders are calmed by GLP-1s. I know my
Crohns Disease has been in remission since coupling my biologic medication with a compounded GLP-1. Which is what works since I can draw a lower dose than is available by preloaded, brand name suppliers (Eli Lilly looking at you!). I take a MICRODOSE. 2.5mL is the starting dose, but my body tolerates only 2mL. I get too sick with side effects if I go higher. I know my body. It’s my choice. There is still profit to be made, but a monopoly on someone’s health isn’t how it’s done. DO NOT HARM ELI LILLY.
Claire supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsMy life has been forever changed because of GLP1 medications and making them affordable for all will save so many lives.
Bryan supported: Help Secure Permanent Affordable Access to GLP-1 MedicationsCompounded Tirzepatide via Mochi Health & Aequita Pharmacy has been life changing! My husband & I are on week 4 & we have HOPE again! Our insurance won’t cover any weight loss treatment. We had near instant results with no more food noise & feeling full/satisfied. We are able to eat healthy now. My malabsorption issues is gone. Inflammation pain decreased. We need affordable access to GLP-1’s. I’m certain we’ll need for life. My Rheumatologist was so supportive & kept repeating “it happens in nature!” He mentioned how we don’t have enough GLP-1 in our stomach naturally & it leaves too quickly. I truly believe GLP-1’s is the answer we’ve all been searching for. 💙
