I had actually looked into that and yeah, because it isn’t technically indicated for weight loss most insurance companies have dropped covering it barring severe medical need. Unfortunately, I’m like 80lbs overweight, and even having high blood pressure wasn’t enough to drop the $300/no it would cost out of pocket.
It makes sense, I mean why cover $300/mo while I lose weight when you can cover my eventual six figure bypass and hospital stay, or roll the dice and hope I just die?
I did hear that there is some version of it that has (or is soon getting) approval for weight loss so… maybe!
The link seems obvious, honestly. If you get a vaccine, that’s .5ml adding to your body weight… you go get in a pool without factoring that in, next thing you know, you’re at the bottom running out of air. If he ate within half an hour of getting in… well, he was just courting death at that point.
