Perspective with Ryan Bridge: Will Wegovy really solve everything?


I was at the movies recently and the first three ads that came up in the shorts beforehand were pretty interesting.

We had a fast food ad... I think it was KFC... some new chicken thing you can eat, then we had a Burger Fuel ad, and for dessert, to top things off, we had a Wegovy ad.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: Do we need the Government to help fund Wegovy?


From today, Wegovy is available on our shelves so you can get skinny like Oprah, if you want.

But it'll cost you - $500 per month. Which is unaffordable for most people, prompting a debate over whether the Government should fund it to reduce obesity and safe money on obesity-related illnesses and injuries.

Now on principle, this is the kind of thing I'm a fan of - a bit of money upfront to save lots of money later. But unfortunately, as it stands, this wouldn't be an example of saving money.
