I'm pretty sure we've all thought it before, but if these diabetes meds can prevent the disease, why is the healthcare system making it so hard for people in need to get them? We don't wait until someone has a heart attack to put them on blood pressure meds, so why isn't ozympic an option for pre-diabetics? It can't be big pharma, since they are making money hand over fist. I don't actually think it's the sugar lobby like in the episode. And it shouldn't be the insurance companies because "a penny of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Getting more people on it now should lower the costs they will have to pay out in the future, especially since the more mass volume of sales means the pharma companies get their ROI faster and thus the drug (theoretically) becomes cheaper.

Yes, I agree that people probably shouldn't get it for vanity alone as the moms do, but it being made more widely available for people who actually need it would be very beneficial.

All puns were unintentional, but still funny to me.
