hello, lovely friends I reported on access issues around employer insurance last year, sharing interviews with Kristi Turner, who lost her coverage on New Year's Eve while everyone else was celebrating, and Jennifer Sansabrino, a small business owner who genuinely wanted to cover her employees but did not have a single formulary available to her with GLP-1s for weight loss
