There are new medicines to help people with weight problems. These medicines are very popular and work well. But, they cost a lot of money. Many people cannot buy them because they are too expensive.
Many patients in America need this medicine. Some have government insurance like Medicare. Others pay with their own money. The high price is a big problem for them.
President Trump announced a new plan. He made a deal with the drug companies, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. This agreement will help lower the price of the weight-loss drugs.
Because of the deal, the price for the medicine will be much lower. It could be as little as $149 a month for some people. Now, more Americans can get the help they need.
