Description

Prescriptions for Wegovy have doubled and prescriptions for Zepbound have tripled in the past year, according to a recent report from GoodRx, a company that searches for deals on medicines. Weight loss drugs are pricey though, and insurance plans often don’t cover them if they’re used for weight loss. We’ll hear about some of the wins for those in the business of losing. Also on this morning’s show: Australia’s news tax and France’s disarrayed economy.
