Oh they do NOT cover that unless you are diabetic. No way. (I looked into it.)
Wegovy might be covered if youβre just fat. You might also find a doctor willing to prescribe it on the basis of pre-diabetes, although itβll be a long argument with your insurer.
But if you respond well to the drug itβs worth it. Trust me
Idk? Boob job? Dental work? Extra set of arms? I wouldnβt know
It's the US, so dental isn't included
Oh then get a quadruple bypass since youβre in America

Any minor physical pains? Could see a physical therapist. If you use a computer a lot, your posture might be bad and it helps a lot!
Get an MRI for, idk, back pain.
Get prohibitive dental work. My teeth are fucked from no fluoride in the water when I was a kid, so I always have more work needed.
Lol dental work isn't covered under health insurance. Teeth are luxury bones that only the rich are allowed to keep!
Aw, but all my other bones are so low maintenance.
Emigrate.
Shop around if you don't like your GP. Tell them your situation and ask them for a referal to every specialist under the sun. Get tested and innoculated for absolutely everything they suggest.

Colonoscopy!
To your "edit" point: Don't take a handful of downvotes personally; it's pretty easy to do accidentally on mobile so they may have been unintentional
Some people also use downvotes as way to say they dislike something. Unlikely, but some people might be down voting to indicate they don't like the insurance industry.
To add to that downvotes have no serious negative effect on this platform
In reddit as soon as a few people downloaded you, you disappeared
Here people can brigade you and unless you're reading top, who cares, your stuff still gets seen.
Oh I know. I am genuinely curious what anyone found so objectionable. They are welcome to their opinion, Iβm just very eager to know what it is.

Get all your injuries out of the way. Do a bunch of dumb shit to build character
