Gilbert (Nov. 7, 2025). What you need to know about Medicare coverage for weight-loss drugs - Experts call President Donald Trump’s deal with drug companies a breakthrough, but details of how it will work are still emerging. Washington Post, paywall-free link: https://wapo.st/3WGwP87

I am definitely not a fan of Donald Trump. However, this looks quite good so far, with the government pressuring two big drug companies to lower prices with assurances, I suspect, that far more people will be using the drugs. The drug companies still make large amounts of money -- as they should since they invested in risky drugs -- but consumers are far more likely to be able to afford the drugs.

The article is not paywalled, but it's close: When I opened it in my incognito tab, it required that I set up a free Washington Post account where they'd send me spam to encourage me to join. Try this: Gilbert2.pdf. I printed out a .pdf of the same article.
