Health care issues are expected to be major points of discussion in the upcoming election, with policies around coverage, access, and affordability taking center stage. Additionally, a new proposal in Washington suggests that Medicare may soon start covering weight loss drugs like Zepbound and Wegovy, which could play a significant role in addressing the obesity epidemic in the country.
In a recent episode of “The Readout LOUD” podcast, STAT chief Washington correspondent Rachel Cohrs Zhang discusses the proposal for obesity drug coverage and offers insights into what we can expect from the upcoming debate. Meanwhile, health tech reporter Brittany Trang co-hosts the episode, where discussions around AI for drug development, updates on the H5N1 bird flu outbreak, developments in the GLP-1 field, and other news in the life sciences are featured.
To delve deeper into the obesity coverage proposal and stay informed on important health care policies in the election cycle, listeners can access additional resources provided in the episode. Information on the bird flu response, Basecamp’s use of AI in enzyme design, Brittany’s Q&A with Cellarity, and challenges facing Grail are also covered in the podcast.
