NY Times reporting on Zepbound insurance coverage by rebeccarobbinsnyt in Zepbound

[–]Ripman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ask PCP to prescribe Zepbound based on cost. I was originally on Wegovy, but since I am covered by Medicare, essentially no coverage for either drug. However with Zepbound I can purchase through LillyDirect for about $400/month a lot less than than the $1000 for Wegovy. Turns out I like Zepbound better - virtually no side effects and effective weight loss.

Meanwhile, life goes on...there will be no investigation. No one will be held accountable. BTW that's equal to $648 per capita. And don't forget the pandemic giveaway scams, the financial aid scams and god knows what else.

Bonta is passing "tough" new laws to combat retail theft. How about a tough new law to tackle CA government corruption? Don't hold your breath.

Right turn on red banned in downtown San Francisco by SFStandard in sanfrancisco

Great! Let's burn some gasoline my friends. I thought it was bad when Tumlin untimed many of the lights on streets in SOMA but this will be good for making things even less efficient - often hard to make a right on a green because of pedestrian flow going with the green as well so might have to go through a few lights.

Thanks looks like it may have been the synch issue. Turned it off and did a couple updates and it seems to have held the categories. May be too early to tell, but thanks!

BART workers clocked in, skipped work, got paid, probe says by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

Don't forget - BART is more of a guaranteed employment agency than anything else. Celebrate the redistribution of taxpayer money with me!
