Comment on Ozempic Is Making People Buy Less Food, Walmart Saysparent

Comments

Yes

1. Health insurance caps the annual price to a few thousand dollars, which is worth the money for most people for the health and social advantages

2. Wealthy suburban families shop at Wal-Mart quite a lot

I'm love Walmart, great prices and return policy. Way less sketchy crap like Amazon has.

I wish Walmart didn't ruin their catalog with third party like Amazon did

Many people who are taking ozempic are not doing it with a prescription. That would not generally be covered by insurance.

Edit: I meant off-label, not without a prescription. Same treatment by insurance.

... But if you're doing it illegally, you can pay way less money than you would for prescription Ozempic.

There is a booming black market for bootleg Chinese Semaglutide (and Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide, and etc)

Correct - Every health "spa" in the US sells it for 30% of what the name brand is.

If only that were the case. $800/mo, with coupon, because insurance says no.
