A large majority of older Americans feel that health insurance – including Medicare – should cover anti-obesity medications, according to a new study. And more than half of older adults who meet criteria for obesity say they’re interested in trying one of these drugs to manage their weight.

About The Study: In this survey study of older U.S. adults, most participants agreed that Medicare should cover weight management medications and more than half of those with body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater were interested in using them. These results should inform decisions to include weight management medications in the Medicare and commercial insurance programs, as well as utilization policies to control health care costs.
