Should the NEW Weight Loss Drugs (some or all) be added to ALL the Part D formulary ?

Just for weight loss with no other diagnosed problem like diabetes / C-V disease or sleep apnea?

And should we subsidize the use of such for weight loss to hopefully bring about a healthier America?

By subsidize - I mean by Medicare and your premiums.

This is a belated reply to your question about adding weight loss drugs to Medicare (Part D) plans. Personally I hope that insurance companies offer some plans that do not include weight loss drugs so that people who don't need weight loss won't have to pay higher premiums for something they don't need.

I'm not familiar with the science of weight loss drug. Is there evidence that they really improve ones health? I am still of the belief that healthy weight comes from exercise and healthful foods in moderation.
