Description

California lawmakers are racing to make life-changing GLP-1 drugs more affordable, launching a bold new bill that could take years—like the insulin initiative—to deliver real savings. As patients struggle with out-of-pocket costs and insurers drop coverage, the state joins other states grappling with skyrocketing prices. Meanwhile, dangerous compounded versions of these drugs are on the rise, triggering a spike in poison center calls. But with growing science and political will, hope is mounting that everyone who needs these meds can soon access them without breaking the bank.
