    Can California afford to cover Ozempic for public employees?

    California's Senate passed a bill requiring health insurers to cover GLP-1 weight-loss drugs like Ozempic for public employees, but CalPERS opposes it due to projected $437 million premium increases and $187 million state fund costs. Sen. Laura Richardson advocates for a five-year pilot program to cover chronic weight management treatments, citing potential long-term savings from reduced healthcare costs.
