It’s time to end the wait: Tell PA to cover lifesaving GLP-1s

Background: Pennsylvania blocked Medicaid coverage for GLP-1 medications to treat obesity in January. With this move, the state didn’t just cut its spending; it cut good health.

Every year, obesity costs the Commonwealth $1.06 billion in increased spending through Medicaid costs, employee health care coverage and public assistance. Politicians are funding a chronic disease crisis rather than funding good health. That’s the very definition of penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Take Action Now: Tell your lawmakers to end the wait: PA Medicaid should cover GLP-1s to treat obesity and put Pennsylvanians on the road to good health.
