Readers weigh in on GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, fixing Social Security, German auto makers, and the problem with investing in China.
I’m an Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk investor, and it’s great to see how their GLP-1 weight-loss drugs can help to get one of our biggest problems worldwide under control. However, we should use them in a smart combination, or otherwise the costs will crash the healthcare system .
Medicare and other insurers should pay for them, but only as a first step for those who, for example, already have high blood pressure and have to take medicine to control it. Medicare should also implement a healthy-life bonus system for all others who want the drugs. If patients do their workouts and are also changing their eating behavior by adjusting it to their metabolism, then it’s going to be an affordable success and will help many people.
It can’t be that people without diabetes take this drug for the rest of their lives. It isn’t affordable for the healthcare system. Every drug has long-term side effects, and we shouldn’t support a pill just so patients can get their next pizza slice without guilt.The bipartisan proposal to fix Social Security by investing $1.5 trillion of government funds in equity index funds is profoundly ill-advised . Equities carry systematic risks, and those risks are priced into valuations.
