A bit of background on me:
July 2021: My GP sent me to a weight loss clinic, and I enrolled there. They gave me counseling about losing weight. At that point I weighed 305lbs.
December 2021: I was diagnosed with diabetes (the second A1C reading came back over 6.5). Metformin was the first medication I went on. Weight: 310lbs.
April 2022: Ozempic was added.
April 2023: I moved over to Mounjaro. Weight: 245lb
June 2025: Lost my job. Managed to get some COBRA.
Feb 2026: COBRA ended and I still had no job. That's when I went on Apple Health (which is Medicaid here in Seattle, basically insurance for people with low income).
March 2026: Coverage for Mounjaro stopped. Weight: 211lb.
I've spent the past several weeks trying to get Mounjaro reinstated so I can dodge that wonderful $2938429342/month price tag. The PA came back denied, and the appeal was denied too, though they say they'll cover Victoza now. I'm not sure I want to go that route. I'd prefer to stay on what I'm already taking. I saw someone here mention paying $30/month in cash (buying several months worth at once). That's something I'd be willing to do.
