Miracle Weight-Loss Drug Also a Major Budgetary Threat

According to this analysis, the total cost of prescribing weight loss drugs for all obese Americans could reach $1 trillion per year at current prices, with expected savings from reduced health care costs only $200 billion per year.

The authors' proposed solution is to allow Medicare/Medicaid to negotiate the price of this class of drug. I don't know enough about healthcare to have a view on that proposal.
