BUT FOR SATURDAY AND THE MADHOUSE CLASSIC AT BOWMAN GRAY LOOKS PRETTY DRY. TEMPERATURES NOT BAD BY ABOUT 1:45 P.M. A NICE AFTERNOON, MOSTLY SUNNY, AND TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 50S. THEN FOR SUNDAY, YOU’LL HAVE TO BATTLE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF SOME COLDER WEATHER. MIGHT BE A FEW CLOUDS FROM TIME TO TIME. THE MAIN EVENT 8:00. IT WILL BE A LITTLE CHILLY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 40S, SO YOU’LL STILL NEED TO BUNDLE UP IF YOU’RE GOING TO HEAD OUT THERE. SITTING IN THE STANDS AT BOWMAN GRAY. WE’VE GOT CLOUDS OUT THERE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS EVENING. TO START OUT WITH SOME SUNSHINE EARLIER TODAY. THEN THE CLOUDS KIND OF FILTERED IN. NOW THEY’RE STARTING TO THICKEN UP JUST A LITTLE BIT TO TEMPERATURES VERY MILD. WE’RE IN THE UPPER 50S EVERYWHERE AT THE MOMENT 60 YANCEYVILLE AND ALSO BACK OUT AT MOCKSVILLE AND DOWN IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY TOO. THE BREEZES HAVE BEEN UP OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST, NOT NEARLY AS WINDY AS IT WAS YESTERDAY, BUT IT’S THAT SOUTHERLY FLOW THAT ONCE AGAIN ALLOWED OUR TEMPERATURES TO GO UP THE THERMOMETER A LITTLE BIT MORE TODAY. 40S INTO THE MOUNTAINS AT THIS HOUR. SO CHILLIER UP THERE. 54 HOWEVER, IN NORTH WILKESBORO INTO THE FOOTHILL COMMUNITIES, AND THEIR WINDS HAVE DIED DOWN CONSIDERABLY WHERE THEY WERE QUITE IMPRESSIVE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, HIGH TEMPERATURES ACHIEVED SO FAR TODAY, 61 BURLINGTON AND WINSTON-SALEM AND ASHEBORO 63, IN LEXINGTON AND REIDSVILLE. SO WE HAD ANOTHER WARM DAY OUT THERE, WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR OUR TEMPERATURES. WE’RE STILL DRY OUT THERE, SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE DAY IN THE MONTH TOMORROW. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE ONE MORE DAY TOMORROW FOR THAT CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN TO DEVELOP, WITH A LITTLE OVER THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH SO FAR FOR THE MONTH, WE’RE BELOW NORMAL, A LITTLE OVER 2.25IN FOR THE MONTH SO FAR AS WELL, SO WE COULD USE SOME RAIN AND THE DROUGHT MONITOR HAS BEEN UPDATED FROM TODAY. AND THIS MODERATE DROUGHT AREA IS SLOWLY BEEN DRIFTING OFF TO THE WEST A LITTLE BIT MORE OUT OF FORSYTH COUNTY NOW INTO DAVIE AND YADKIN AND IREDELL COUNTY TOO. WE’LL SEE IF THAT CONTINUES. WE LOOK PRETTY DRY AFTER THIS RAIN. CHANCE FOR THE DAY TOMORROW AS WE GET IN BEYOND THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST, AND YOU’LL SEE THAT IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. SO THIS IS A REALLY BEST CHANCE OF RAIN WE’VE HAD IN QUITE SOME TIME. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE LONG LIVED THOUGH. ALSO, WE’VE HAD FIRE DANGER OUT THERE THE PAST FEW DAYS. HIGH AND VERY HIGH CONDITIONS BACK OUT TOWARDS AREAS OF THE FOOTHILL COUNTIES. SO THAT WILL HELP TO SUPPRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE TOO. HERE ARE THE RAINS. AND NOTICE THEY’RE KIND OF LIFTING OFF TO THE NORTH WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THERE’S BEEN SOME FLOOD WARNINGS BACK OUT OVER PORTIONS OF ARKANSAS FROM EARLIER TODAY. SOME RAIN SHOWERS DEPICTED ON THE RADAR HERE. WE’RE PRETTY DRY IN THE LOWER LEVELS. THE LOWER SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET THOUSAND FEET IN THE ATMOSPHERE. SO MOST OF THIS NOT QUITE REACHING THE GROUND, BUT IT IS SATURATING THE ATMOSPHERE. AND THAT COLUMN, AND AS IT DOES, THAT WILL ALLOW SOME OF THIS RAINDROPS TO START TO HIT THE GROUND. MAYBE THIS EVENING IN A SPOTTY FASHION, BUT REALLY BETTER CHANCES TOMORROW, MILD THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEAST. HERE’S THE STORM SYSTEM, AND IT’S NOW PUSHING INTO AREAS OF ARKANSAS. IT WILL MOVE ITS WAY OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST WITH TIME, BUT THAT’S WHAT’S WHERE THE BULK OF THE RAIN WILL COME FROM. AS WE GET INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. SO SPOTTY EARLY SHOWERS AS WE GET INTO THE DAY FRIDAY, MAINLY AFTERNOON RAIN FOR THE MOST PART. RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH THAT TIME FRAME THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT OR SO FRIDAY NIGHT, MAYBE UPWARDS OF THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH, MAYBE A LITTLE ISOLATED THUNDER. THE THING IS, YOU MIGHT HAVE A WET COMMUTE TOMORROW ON YOUR WAY HOME. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THERE’S A CHANCE WE COULD SEE OR HEAR A RUMBLE OF THUNDER OR TWO, BUT MOST OF THAT WILL BE DOWN TO OUR SOUTH. DON’T BE SURPRISED BY THAT, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE VERY RANDOM IF YOU SEE IT 47 IN THE MORNING. THE CLOUDS ARE QUITE PROMINENT. YOU MIGHT GET A COUPLE BREAKS OF SUN IN THERE TOMORROW. 67 SPOTTY SHOWERS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN AS WE GET INTO LATER IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE PIEDMONT 60 IN THE FOOTHILLS TOMORROW. AND THOSE SHOWERS LIKELY AND THE WINDS WILL BE UP TO MOSTLY IN THE PIEDMONT, THOUGH WE’LL SEE SOME PRETTY HIGH WIND CONDITIONS TOMORROW. AND IN THE MOUNTAINS, THE WINDS WILL BE UP TO PATCHY SHOWERS. EARLY CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE AFTERNOON AND TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW AND MID 50S IN THE MOUNTAINS. FOR YOUR FRIDAY. HERE’S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. NOW ALL THAT CLEARS OUT AS WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT, FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. PRETTY DRY AND NOT BAD TEMPERATURE WISE. 60 SATURDAY 54 SUNDAY. AND THEN WE’RE INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60

  • Great Dane! Spurs youngster grabs first goal for the club in UEL clash


    A week ago, Dane Scarlett was out on loan at Oxford United. Tonight, he is the toast of Tottenham as he’s given them the lead against Elfsborg just four minutes after coming off the bench.

    It was his first goal for the club to make it all the sweeter.

    After a frustrating 65 minutes of the game, Spurs woes grew with yet another injury, this time Radu Drăgușin being forced off just 20 minutes after coming on for the returning Micky van de Ven.

    However, for a change, it worked in Ange Postecoglou’s favour, as Scarlett came on, and broke the deadlock just four minutes later with a proper striker’s header from close range.

    Exciting news for Spurs fans as young talent shines on the European stage! In a thrilling Europa League clash, a promising Great Dane made his mark by scoring his first goal for the club. The future looks bright for this rising star, and fans can’t wait to see what he has in store for the team. #COYS #UEL #GreatDane

  • FCSB vs Manchester United LIVE: Latest team news and line-ups ahead of key Europa League clash


    Manchester United will have their eye on securing a top-eight finish as the Europa League group stage reaches its conclusion on what could be a hectic night of action.

    Ruben Amorim’s side are in the Romanian capital to take on FCSB in their final fixture as they reach the end of a campaign in which they are so far unbeaten. Three draws mean that direct progression to the round of 16 is not totally secure, but win tonight and a smooth route will be theirs. A draw could well prove sufficient, too – yet defeat could open the door for others to usurp them.

    The hosts are among those looking to overtake their fourth-placed opponents, with FCSB starting the night a point and four rungs below Manchester United in the competition ladder. That makes it win or bust for the 1986 European Cup winners as they hope to avoid the two-legged playoff ties that the other 16 qualifiers will have to negotiate.

    Follow all the updates from the National Arena in Bucharest in our live blog below:

    Manchester United sit fourth in the Europa League table with 15 points from their seven games.

    FCSB are slightly further behind in eighth on 14 points.

    A win for either side will see them secure an automatic place in the last-16 while defeat for either side could mean they end up on a play-off round.

    Amorim tells Rashford what he must do to stay at Manchester United

    18:35 , Mike Jones

    Ruben Amorim has admitted Manchester United need a player like Marcus Rashford but says the forward “has to change” and meet his standards to have a future with the club.

    Seven weeks have passed since Rashford last played for the Red Devils and his wait continues.

    The forward trained with his team-mates on the eve of their match against FCSB, but was omitted from the 21-man squad seeking to secure a last-16 spot in Romania.

    Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday (29 January), Amorim said: “When I feel that it is the right moment, I will put any player to play and, I will say it again, we are a better team with Marcus Rashford.”

    Ruben Amorim claims he will put 63-year-old goalkeeping coach in Man Utd squad before Marcus Rashford

    18:30 , Mike Jones

    Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim revealed that the reason for Marcus Rashford’s continued absence from the matchday squad is the lack of effort he is seeing in training and said he will put 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital on the bench before the England international.

    Rashford, who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the January transfer window, has not featured for United since a 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League back in December.

    Amorim will put 63-year-old goalkeeping coach in Man Utd squad before Rashford

    ‘Our focus is on the players we have’

    18:25 , Mike Jones

    Despite rumours linking the club with the likes of Mathys Tel, Ruben Amorim says he is focused on improving the current members of the Man Utd squad.

    “Our focus is to work with the players that we have,” Amorim added.

    “I think it is clear we can improve as a team, all of us, if we have time to train and if we put some wins together. So, it will be so much easier.

    “We had so many games compared to training, that is how, for me, it is the biggest problem to start [my job] in the middle of a season, especially, in that moment, with a lot of games.”

    Amorim on United’s transfer policy

    18:20 , Mike Jones

    As the January transfer window is still open, Ruben Amorim was asked how Manchester United will deal with potentialy incomings and outgoings.

    He said: “This window is always really, really difficult and we don’t want to make the mistakes of the past.

    “We have to also understand the situation of the club. A lot of things are changing so we have to be careful in this type of window.

    “You guys know the situation of the club at the moment, so it’s nothing new.”

    United’s Europa League campain

    18:15 , Mike Jones

    Manchester United have won four Europa League games in a row.

    They beat PAOK, Bodo/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen, and Rangers last time out.

    Another victory would match their record run of five, set during the 2022/23 group stage.

    Can Man Utd’s unexpected new coach turn Ruben Amorim players into ‘mad dogs’?

    18:10 , Mike Jones

    The football world wasn’t ready for Sir Clive Woodward when he joined Southampton as performance director in 2005.

    Two years after masterminding England’s Rugby World Cup glory, Woodward arrived at St Mary’s to much ridicule, summed up by a newspaper cartoon which depicted two players lifting up striker Peter Crouch like a second row catching a rugby lineout.

    Woodward later said, on seeing the cartoon: “My immediate thought was, ‘Can you do that? Can you actually lift someone up?’”

    Can Man Utd’s new coach turn Ruben Amorim’s players into ‘mad dogs’?

    A look at FCSB

    18:05 , Mike Jones

    FCSB sit second in the Romanian top-flight on goal difference.

    They are unbeaten in their last four Europa League matches, beating Midtjylland and Qarabag while settling for goalless draws against Olympiacos and Hoffenheim.

    They have lost just one of their matches in this competition in 2024/25. However, that was a heavy defeat as they went down 4-0 at Rangers, the team United beat last time out.

    De Ligt on United’s chances

    18:00 , Mike Jones

    Matthijs de Ligt added: “We are undefeated so far [in the Europa League], so good in that respect.

    “There were a few matches that we drew and which we should have won.

    “There’s always room for improvement, but I believe we are one of the best eight teams [in the league phase].”

    Ugarte on United’s Europea campaign

    17:55 , Mike Jones

    The midfielder said: “I think it’s been quite positive. United must win every match because of the club we are.

    “But I think we are doing well and the next match will be very important.

    “From now on, it’s about doing everything we can, resting and eating well, so that we are in the best shape.”

    The damning final truth of Antony’s Manchester United nightmare

    17:50 , Mike Jones

    Ruben Amorim was discussing a forward he doesn’t pick. He would, he said on Sunday, be willing to put his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench ahead of him if he didn’t give the maximum in training.

    It wasn’t Antony he was talking about: Marcus Rashford was the man damned by comparison with Jorge Vital. (Although a spot on the bench has already opened up.)

    The temptation is to suggest the veteran Vital would be of similar use to Antony as a substitute.

    The damning final truth of Antony’s Manchester United nightmare

    Ugarte on playing for Man Utd

    17:45 , Mike Jones

    Manuel Ugarte spoke about what it is like to play for Manchester United.

    He said: “I talk to Facu [Facundo] Pellistri every day because he is a very close friend of mine.

    “I talked to Diego Forlán and Edi [Edinson] Cavani in Uruguay. This is something that unites us and it’s quite beautiful.

    “You realise every player who leaves the team keeps that passion and love for United and that says a lot about this club, its history, the passion of the fans and the players who have been part of this club.”

    Shaw back in training

    17:40 , Mike Jones

    It looks increasingly likely that Manchester United will bring a left wingback into the squad during this transfer window as a deal fro Patrick Dorgu moves closer.

    More good news for Ruben Amorim and co. is that Luke Shaw has returned to training and should be in contention to play soon.

    He has been left out of tonight’s squad though as he is still not match fit but could play a role at the weekend.

    Amorim on rotating players

    17:35 , Mike Jones

    Here’s Ruben Amorim talking in the build-up to tonight’s match about how he will choose the players.

    “We have to rotate some players,” he said. “Everybody is prepared – and it is crucial for us to stay in the top eight and to avoid the play-offs.

    “Like I’ve said so many times, we need time to train. We need to rest some players also, so we need to win tomorrow.

    “We have to face the game in a good way, fight for every ball, but to improve with the possession and we’ll try, tomorrow, with the starting XI, to have players with a lot of possession, to control the game, because it’s really important, especially in the beginning.”

    Manchester United receive huge injury boost after star returns to training ahead of Europa League clash

    17:30 , Mike Jones

    Manchester United received a boost on the eve of their Europe League game in Romania with Luke Shaw returning to training, as well an appearance from under-fire Marcus Rashford.

    Shaw had featured in Ruben Amorim’s first three matches in charge, only for the left-back to suffer his latest injury setback that has kept him out since the start of December.

    Shaw’s return is timely as United pursue Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu to strengthen their left-back options before Monday’s transfer deadline.

    United receive huge injury boost after Shaw returns to training ahead of Europa clash

    FCSB vs Man Utd prediction

    17:25 , Mike Jones

    Ruben Amorim’s team are going through a good spell and the Europa League has been one of their more positive competitions this season.

    With the possibility of a last-16 place on the line expect the Red Devils to turn up and find a way past their opponent.

    It won’t be pretty and at times they will have to suffer but individual quality should carry then over the line.

    17:20 , Mike Jones

    Manchester United midfielder Manuel Ugarte is a doubt after suffering a knock against Fulham, while Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Jonny Evans remain sidelined.

    Marcus Rashford remains at the club for now but is firmly out of favour.

    FCSB vs Manchester United

    17:00 , Mike Jones

    Manchester United will look to book their spot in the last 16 of the Europa League as they travel to Romania to face FCSB.

    While languishing in the Premier League, Ruben Amorim’s side are unbeaten in this competition and look good bets for automatic progression, avoiding the scheduling pressures that a two-legged play-off tie would pose.

    A win would cement a top eight finish while a draw might also be enough, but defeat would see them slip beneath their hosts in Bucharest.

    FCSB start the final round of fixtures occupying the final qualification spot for direct progression and just a point behind their opponents.

    Manchester United look strong bets to make the top eight – but plenty can and will change. They face FCSB, with kick off at 8pm GMT.

  • Arne Slot says he is making ‘choice for the long-term’ in resting Liverpool regulars for PSV clash


    Arne Slot says he is protecting his squad for the key months ahead as tomorrow’s Champions League game with PSV Eindhoven has “no importance to the league table”.

    The head coach has left most of his first-team players at home as Liverpool have already qualified for the last 16 and are guaranteed to finish in the top two positions.

    Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz have not travelled and will be given a day of rest on Wednesday before returning to train early on Thursday morning.

    “It took me some time to understand this new format but now I can say that I’m 100 per cent sure that it doesn’t matter if we finish first or second because we will play the team in 14, 15, 16 or 17, then it is a draw of which team we will face,” Slot says. “We cannot drop to number three so this is a game for us that has no importance to the league table.

    “But a very wise man said to me that he’s never seen anything good from losing a football game so we will do everything we can to try and win it.”

    ‘Un-be-liev-able’: How Szoboszlai became essential for Liverpool

    Slot has worked closely with his staff to decide which players need a rest ahead of a continued busy period.

    He decided to take Cody Gakpo along as he wanted to give him the opportunity to face his former side, who he joined Liverpool from two years ago.

    “These players are ready and all the players who were left behind could have played tomorrow,” he says.

    “But in the long-term — so it doesn’t tell us anything about Saturday’s game — if you look back at our season, after four or five weeks, we gave them a break during the week if there was a moment to give them one. We’ve always done it to keep them fresh.

    “Also, because we mainly start with 13 or 14 players who have shared most of the playing time, some of the others haven’t played a lot.

    “It’s very useful for the other players to now get 90 minutes because if we do get into any injury problems, it will be useful to have these players. It’s a choice we have made for the long term.”

    Arne Slot says he is making ‘choice for the long-term’ in resting Liverpool regulars for PSV clash

    Arne Slot, the head coach of Liverpool, has made the bold decision to rest several key players for their upcoming clash against PSV. Slot has stated that he is making this choice with the long-term success of the team in mind, as he believes that giving some of his regular starters a break will benefit the team in the long run.

    While some fans may be concerned about the impact of resting key players in such an important match, Slot is confident in his decision and believes that the squad has the depth and quality to still perform well against PSV. He emphasized that he is looking at the bigger picture and wants to ensure that his players are fresh and fit for the challenges ahead.

    Slot’s decision to rest players for the PSV clash may raise some eyebrows, but his focus on the long-term success of the team is commendable. It will be interesting to see how the squad performs without some of their regular starters, but Slot’s commitment to making decisions that benefit the team in the long run is certainly a positive sign for Liverpool fans.

  • Weight-loss drugs could set up clash between RFK Jr and aides


    BBC Composite image of Robert F Kennedy Jr and Mehmet OzBBC

    Robert F Kennedy Jr (L) could find himself opposed to another Trump nominee, Mehmet Oz (R), over weight loss drugs

    Trump’s nominees for top health jobs agree that Americans need to lose weight, but they disagree on whether they should provide drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy to achieve that aim – especially when those medicines are quite so expensive.

    As a weight management doctor, Mollie Cecil has seen first-hand how the latest weight-loss drugs help her patients.

    She knows from personal experience, too. After a year on one medication, the West Virginia doctor lost 40 pounds. Her cholesterol and arthritis improved, allowing her to be more active with her young children.

    “I just felt like a new person on them,” she said.

    But she worried about the same obstacle facing many of her patients – losing insurance coverage – so she tapered off the drugs as a precaution.

    It turned out she was right. Dr Cecil later learned her new non-profit insurance plan could not afford to cover the cost of the drugs.

    She gradually gained back most of the weight she lost.

    A new weight-loss drug policy?

    The latest class of weight-loss drugs – also known as GLP-1 agonists – are “the most potent weight-loss medications we have ever had”, Dr Cecil said.

    “But when I can’t get them to [my patients], as a physician who really cares about taking care of people … it just feels helpless,” she said.

    The new class of drugs – often not covered by private insurance – can cost $1,000 (£809) a month on average. Federal law bans Medicare from covering the drugs when used for weight loss, though they usually are covered when used to treat diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Only 13 states provide coverage under Medicaid for weight loss purposes.

    To make them more accessible, then-President Joe Biden recently proposed that Medicare and Medicaid cover them, but now that will be up to President Donald Trump’s new administration.

    Its weight-loss drug policy would fall to Trump’s pick for health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, and Mehmet Oz, Trump’s choice to lead Medicare and Medicaid services. But this could mean a potential clash: Kennedy is a vocal critic of the weight-loss drugs while Oz is an ardent advocate.

    The Trump administration did not respond to a request for comment about how it would handle the Biden administration’s proposal for Medicare – federal insurance for those 65 and older – and Medicaid – government insurance for low-income people – to cover the drugs.

    Trump’s future approach remains unclear, with several people in his inner circle holding contradictory views, said Jonathan Zhang, a professor at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy.

    “GLP-1, Ozempic, this is a drug that has so much patient demand,” Mr Zhang said. “It’s really taken on a life of its own on social media. So the Trump administration – or any administration – faces a tonne of pressure to do something about this in the near term.”

    A weight-loss drug sceptic vs a television promoter

    During his presidential run last year, Kennedy made tackling the obesity epidemic a central part of his platform. Over 100 million people in the US are obese, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    After dropping out and endorsing Trump, Kennedy launched his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative to reduce obesity by eliminating ultra-processed foods and additives, among other more controversial ideas.

    But the 71-year-old has been outspoken about weight-loss drugs, telling Fox News in October: “They’re counting on selling [weight-loss medications] to Americans because we’re so stupid and so addicted to drugs.”

    “If we just gave good food, three meals a day, to every man, woman and child in our country, we could solve the obesity and diabetes epidemic overnight,” Kennedy added.

    Shortly after Trump chose Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), he announced that he selected Oz, a former TV show host and surgeon, to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), an agency within HHS that administers the government health insurance.

    As a television show host, Oz spent years promoting various weight-loss drugs, including more recently, GLP-1 drugs.

    “For those who want to lose a few pounds, Ozempic and other semaglutide medications can be a big help,” Oz posted on Instagram in 2023. “We need to make it as easy as possible for people to meet their health goals, period.”

    Another popular drug, Wegovy, also comes under the semaglutide category to which Oz was referring.

    Decisions about Medicare and Medicaid drug coverage would likely involve leaders from both HHS and CMS, experts said.

    Spokespeople for Oz and Kennedy did not respond to requests for comment about how they would handle the policy decision. Neither has been confirmed to their appointments yet.

    An ‘enormous’ cost

    The high price of GLP-1 drugs – which are patented, meaning cheaper copycat versions can’t be made – has led to a debate among insurance companies, said Benjamin Rome, a health policy researcher at Harvard Medical School.

    The companies have to decide whether to raise insurance premiums, in general, to cover the costs, or to forgo coverage of GLP-1s altogether, he said.

    Many have decided not to cover them. Others cut off coverage to patients once they lose weight and reach a body mass index (BMI) below the obesity range of 30 or higher, Dr Cecil said.

    When Dr Cecil was on a GLP-1 using her previous insurance, she said she wouldn’t allow herself to lose as much weight as she wanted to avoid crossing the BMI threshold.

    “They’ll cut off coverage, saying, ‘Well, you don’t need it anymore. You’ve lost weight.’ But of course, the reason they lost weight is because of the medicine,” she said.

    Getting off anti-obesity drugs too quickly also can cause unpleasant withdrawal effects, and many gain back the weight.

    Government insurance faces a similar cost predicament when it comes to covering the new weight-loss medications.

    “Although there’s obviously a lot of interest in doing so to make these highly effective drugs more available to patients who need them, the cost of doing so would be enormous because so many people are eligible and because the prices are so high,” Dr Rome said.

    When Biden officials issued the rule requiring Medicare and Medicaid to cover the anti-obesity medications, they did so after the election, knowing it would not be up to them to carry the policy out, said Mark Fendrick, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design.

    The federal government said last year that it could cost about $25b for Medicare and $11b for Medicaid to provide the drugs over the next 10 years.

    “How do we pay for that?” Dr Fendrick asked.

    The Biden-era rule must go through a public comment period before the Trump administration ultimately decides whether to move forward with it, experts said.

    Dr Cecil said the government and private insurance companies may remain hesitant to foot the bill for such expensive medications.

    But she believes the savings that would come from tackling obesity for millions of Americans would greatly outweigh the short-term costs.

    “Five to ten years is when we would really see a huge payoff, because that’s when we would really start to see trending downwards for some of these more serious long term complications,” Dr Cecil said.

    “If everyone who needed the drugs could afford them and wanted to take them, it would be pretty game changing.”

    Weight-loss drugs could set up clash between RFK Jr and aides

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental activist and vaccine skeptic, is reportedly in talks to join the board of a pharmaceutical company that is developing a weight-loss drug. This news has raised concerns among his aides and supporters, who fear it could undermine his credibility and reputation.

    Kennedy has been a vocal critic of the pharmaceutical industry, accusing it of putting profits over people’s health. His potential involvement with a company that is developing a weight-loss drug could be seen as hypocritical and damaging to his image.

    On the other hand, supporters argue that Kennedy’s involvement could bring much-needed attention to the issue of weight loss and obesity, which is a growing problem in the United States.

    The clash between Kennedy and his aides highlights the complex and often conflicting interests at play in the world of public health and activism. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and what impact it will have on Kennedy’s reputation and career.
