Despite the efficacy of GLP-1s in treating obesity, the high cost of these drugs pose significant challenges for public health systems worldwide. In @TheLancet, Johan Dellgren, @GovindPersad, and I look at the limitations and the promises of GLP-1s. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

With @ZekeEmanuel @matthew_s_mccoy & Johan Dellgren, drawing on work presented @BCEPShealth xitter.cf/JessamyBagenal/status/…
Using GLP-1 scarcity as a working example. Prof Ezekiel Emmanuel says allocation has been done in many countries without any thought to ethics. But if you’re 20 + have a BMI of >45 you may lose up-to 13 years of your life: if you are 70 + have a BMI >45 it is only 3. So what is fair? @BCEPShealth

"Coverage for weight-loss drugs could reduce obesity immediately while less consumption of harmful foods could help prevent it. Fewer people would need expensive treatments like Wegovy in the longer term." @GovindPersad & @ZekeEmanuel via @WSJopinion wsj.com/articles/for-obese-p…

In my latest for @WSJ, @GovindPersad & I argue that North Carolina’s decision to deny coverage for GLP-1 drugs like #ozempic for individuals with obesity is both unethical and short-sighted. Read below ⬇️ 1/4 wsj.com/articles/for-obese-p…

North Carolina & other health systems are being unethical when they categorically refuse to cover GLP-1 receptor agonists (e.g. Ozempic, Mounjaro) for obesity. So I & @ZekeEmanuel argue in our @WSJ op-ed. wsj.com/articles/for-obese-p… Thread highlighting a few points 1/5 #bioethics
