Dear John,

Last week, Health Affairs published an ahead-of-print article from Benedic Ippolito and Joseph F. Levy exploring how expanding Medicare coverage of anti-obesity medications could increase annual spending by $3.1 billion to $6.1 billion.

Be sure to join us for Journal Club on Tuesday, August 27, to learn more about the study with author Benedic Ippolito.
