Will Newsom Cut Back Ozempic and Wegovy State Coverage?

Season 2025 Episode 385

Governor Newsom wants to cut back coverage of weight-loss drugs under Medi-Cal to help address the state's $12 billion deficit. If approved, low-income patients would have to pay more than $1,000 a month for drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, except for those using them to treat conditions such as diabetes.
