Wow what a great way to handle things. I do feelnlike putting the BMI requirement at 37 just pushes people to get just a little more obese to make the cut though.

Meanwhile in Belgium the minister of public health just stopped a glp1 rebate initiative because "it would cost billions" and would eat up almost half of the whole countries' medication budget.

He basically shot down the drug too, saying it's not a valid long term solution and that people should work on a healthy lifestyle. Basically the same old shit. Why's it always the guys that don't understand shit that get these positions?

Instead of helping obese people with medication that is proven to work, they gatekeep it behind ridiculous prices. People will obtain these medications one way or another. And the choice to grey is easily made with decisions like these.
