Original: Walmart to offer 250-plus free medications, including GLP-1s, to employees

Walmart will provide employees with more than 250 medications at no cost, including GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes drugs, according to Reuters. The move makes the retail giant one of the largest US employers to cover GLP-1s as part of a broad pharmacy benefit, drawing attention as employers nationwide weigh how to handle surging demand and costs for the popular drugs.

Why now: Employer coverage of expensive GLP-1 drugs is a contentious and closely watched workplace benefits issue.
