Summary
Large corporations are adding health insurance coverage for weight-loss and diabetes drugs, but small businesses are struggling to provide coverage due to high costs. Employers and employees are advised to consider different options such as captive health plans, standalone coverage options, and using FSAs to help cover costs. The market is changing quickly, with more drugs in the approval pipeline that could potentially lower costs in the future.
