Medicare is set to introduce coverage for weight-loss drugs for the first time. This change is part of a temporary pilot program that begins on July 1.

As a result, millions of Medicare enrollees will have access to this coverage. One individual looking forward to this change is Mary Abrahamson, a resident of rural Washington. She has been struggling with excess weight on her small frame.

Further details about this pilot program and its implications are available from KXXV (ABC 25) News.
