JOIN THE FIGHT FOR AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO GLP-1s

Millions rely on GLP-1 medications, but high costs put them out of reach. Our petition demands permanent affordable access for all—because everyone should have the right to the care they need.

  • “I have just started compounded tirzepatide prescribed by my doctor. I have a BMI of 36, rising blood sugar and severe sleep apnea. My insurance does not pay for Zepbound. I can afford the compounded. It’s made an amazing difference along with diet and exercise! There is hope! I am in a panic that compounded tirzepatide will be unavailable. Please consider those that cannot afford name brand! I am retired and on a fixed income and this is working!”

    — Donna

  • “I have been struggling my whole life and this drug semaglutide helps me to reduce my morbid obesity. I cannot afford name brand and this is helping my life and to reduce my conditions that are affected by my weight. Please don’t remove this from my market because it is helping me to avoid becoming diabetic”

    — Liz

  • “My insurance just removed Zepbound and other weight management meds from their formulary. How am I sipposed to cover the $11k plus cost of these relatively inexpensive meds??? Taking this medication away from folks battling obesity would be the same as people who are battling depression no longer able to take the life saving medications that are making them well. Either force big pharma to lower their prices, force big insurance to cover the cost without raising premiums or let compounders keep compounding.”

    — Mark

  • "I need to lose weight to have spinal fusion surgery safely. I can't exercise effectively with the pain I have currently, and diet alone has not helped. My insurance is refusing to cover GLP-1 agonists for anything but diabetes, so I'm paying out of pocket for the chance to have my surgery soon, and improve my quality of life as I enter my 40s."

    — Colin

  • "I have a neuro-ophthalmological condition that can cause blindness. One of the standard first line treatments is weight loss, as it's suspected that hormones may have something to do with the condition. Being on this medication has not only helped me lose weight and reduce overall inflammation, but it has helped to save my vision."

    — Lindsy

  • "My primary doctor prescribed tirzepatide, but my insurance refused to cover it. If it weren't for compounding pharmacies, I would not be able to have this medication that my doctor wanted me to have. This medication has helped me keep my weight down, my blood work good, and helping keep me mobile. I will not be able to afford brand name medication, my insurance will not cover it, and the discount card/cash price is still way too much."

    — Emily

  • "This medication has been LIFE CHANGING! My A1C is back to normal, blood pressure is back to normal and I’m losing weight while making better choices - something I have failed to do many, many, many times in the past. My insurance company will only approve the medication if I try one that is documented as unsafe for me to take despite multiple appeals and attempts to reason with them. This medication should be widely available AND affordable! Absolutely no reason it’s affordable in other countries but the US continues to be price gouged by pharmaceutical companies."

    — Gennifer

  • "As a retired federal employee I was able to purchase Wegovy for $25 a month. But effective 2025 it will be $767 per month. As a retired widow I can no longer afford such an expense. This drug has been a true, life changer for me. Please try to make the cost more reasonable or allow less expensive generics to become available. Thank you."

    — Jaycalyn

  • “I wanted to share how Wegovy has been an incredible support in my cancer treatment journey. Managing weight has always been a challenge, especially during such a physically demanding time, but Wegovy has helped me stay on track. It’s improved my overall health and energy levels, making it easier to handle the treatments and stay positive. I’m grateful for every tool that contributes to my healing, and this one has truly made a difference.”

    — Joey

  • "My physician prescribed compounded tirzepatide as an affordable option when my insurance refused to cover the name brand. It's given me my life back! Don't let profits get between doctors and their patients. We all deserve good health, not just those who can afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars every month. Keep medical decisions between doctors and their patients. My body, my choice!"
