Something (Wegovy) I need for medication-induced obesity, but cannot afford ($250/month or $3k/year out of pocket) because Medicare won't cover it. Even when it is "covered", it's a "specialty tier medication" that is even more expensive than that.
Most people forget that US Medicare isn't true universal, single-payer healthcare and is an excessively-complex, oft corporation-involved, half-measure. It is mostly better than Medicaid, healthcare for the very poor, which is even worse. Medicare Advantage is a total scam.
