Exploring Access to Weight Loss Medications for Medicaid Patients

Della McCullough has struggled with her weight for most of her life. Like many others, she has tried various methods to lose weight, including supplements and diets, but none have been successful. Now at 53 years old, McCullough is interested in exploring new medications that can assist with weight loss and obesity management.

However, as she and her husband found themselves on Medicaid last year, they discovered that Colorado’s Medicaid plan does not cover Wegovy – an obesity medicine made by Novo Nordisk – which McCullough was eager to try. Wegovy is specifically approved for obesity and weight loss but falls under a decades-old law that excludes medicines treating anorexia, weight gain, and weight loss from required coverage.

“I’m not ashamed of the fact that I am on state assistance,” says McCullough. “What assistance they provide is not adequate, especially if you do have obesity.”

The Complexities of Medicaid Coverage

The exclusion of weight-related drugs from required coverage stems from a time when diet and e

In Assaf Roth’s second book, the author sketches the character of a modern tragic hero, an Israeli Oedipus, who does not kill his father, but sacrifices his brother on the altar of bereavement.

The protagonist of the book ‘Condolences to my mother’, Benjamin (Benji), goes to study in Paris right after the end of the “thirty” of his brother Robbie, who was killed during his regular military service. His escape to France is a journey of detachment and alienation from home, from the country, from rigid models of masculinity and Israeliness. From the European capital, where Benji tries to wake up and disappear into the French, he writes to the mother he left in Israel, the mother from whose terror he is trying to break away.

The brothers Benjamin and Reuven, Benji and Ruby, are products of contemporary Israel. Their parents, of Moroccan descent, were brave in the country and loyal to it: middle class in a satellite city of Tel Aviv, a white Toyota, visits to family and friends, paying taxes and paying by sacrificing the sons.

Reuven, the eldest son, goes through the course of Israeli manhood, passing its tests. He is brown, like a native saber whose growth is accompanied by the sun. As in a tribal initiation ceremony, he climbs a tall tree and jumps from it, to the cheers of the father and the protests of the mother. Remains in the regular army, marries a good woman and starts planning a family. He has his regular falafel, “the best in the country”, where he is known and his dish is prepared in his honor. Seven years after his birth, Binyamin ben Zakkonum was born. Everything is supposedly normal.

Only the white, gentle Benji with the golden curls, only he is not adjusted. gay
“After I told you I was gay, Robbie didn’t invite me in for a conversation.
