Trump Administration rejects expanding Medicare, Medicaid coverage of obesity drugs
4 April 2025 - Biden Administration had proposed late last year coverage of the popular medicines for obesity.
The Trump Administration said Friday that Medicare and Medicaid won’t expand coverage of popular anti-obesity drugs, rejecting a proposal issued late last year by the Biden administration.
The decision deals a blow, at least for now, to Americans who are covered by the government health-insurance programs and wanted their help paying for the popular but pricey drugs.
