Same pattern here, and in the same order. Posting only so the count is not one.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice.
Insurance coverage hack for cost and coverage: if your insurance denies brand Wegovy/Ozempic, consider these alternatives:
- Prior authorization appeal with peer-to-peer review
- Manufacturer copay card (for commercial insurance)
- Patient assistance programs (Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly)
- Compounded medication from a 503B pharmacy ($144/month)
- Canadian pharmacy (requires prescription, ~40-60% savings)
Don't let cost prevent access to effective treatment. There are options at every price point.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.
