- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

MODERATORS
I got zepbound, lost weight, it changed my relationship with hunger and food. Overall an amazing experience on this drug. I wish doctors could give it out to everyone (except like people with eating disorders)
It costs 500 Euro a month here and insurances refuse to cover it.
Interesting. It can be very difficult to convince insurance to cover GLP-1s in the US as well. My doctor was determined to debate with the insurance company until they approved it for me.
I didn't realize that countries in Europe are stingy about prescribing it too. Or that you'd be forced to pay American level prices for prescriptions.
Here in Germany the insurances think that being overweight is your own fault, why should anyone help you? Just go for a run 3 times a day!
Hopefully it'll change some day. But yeah, the stigma found on an institutional level is big regarding a ton of preventative medicine that would be cheaper for society as a whole if covered.
