Obesity Medicine Association reposted this
We’re glad that individuals like Elon Musk are shedding light on expanding access to treatments like GLP-1s to address the epidemic of obesity in the U.S. These medications can be life changing and if the incoming Trump administration approves a new Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule, Americans who have the most trouble accessing these treatments could improve their health and avoid additional co-morbidities. We have a long way to go but this is a huge step forward. #ObesityCareNOW https://lnkd.in/ewznKqHb
