Ozempic drives up health-care costs, whether you can get it or not

About 165 million Americans rely on employer-sponsored health insurance, and yet workers may still not get the coverage they want — particularly when it comes to drugs such as Novo Nordisk's weight-loss drug Wegovy and diabetes drug Ozempic.About 1 in 3 employees are looking for more resources to combat obesity, according to a recent report by consulting firm Gallagher.
