It costs 500 Euro a month here and insurances refuse to cover it.

    Interesting. It can be very difficult to convince insurance to cover GLP-1s in the US as well. My doctor was determined to debate with the insurance company until they approved it for me.

    I didn't realize that countries in Europe are stingy about prescribing it too. Or that you'd be forced to pay American level prices for prescriptions.

    Here in Germany the insurances think that being overweight is your own fault, why should anyone help you? Just go for a run 3 times a day!

    Hopefully it'll change some day. But yeah, the stigma found on an institutional level is big regarding a ton of preventative medicine that would be cheaper for society as a whole if covered.
