☆ Spora Health's founder painted a rosy portrait of his healthcare startup. The reality is more complicated.

The way Dan Miller told it, his startup Spora Health was crushing it, providing high-quality care to "thousands" of people online. The startup had secured at least one big contract, with Apple, according to three former Spora employees and another source close to Spora. Four of them told Insider they either no longer worked with Spora or hadn't seen Spora patients in a year. Two doctors listed on Spora's website as "featured Spora providers" also told Insider that they no longer worked for the startup. Another former clinician said she only ever treated a handful of Spora patients.

Kenyon said about 20% of Calibrate members do not have coverage for weight-loss medications, and around half of those people request refunds from Calibrate.

☆ People probably have to be on Ozempic forever. But no one is ready for the bill.

But she knows — from experience — that probably won't be possible if she has to stop taking the drug once her manufacturer-issued coupons expire. But the injections don't work once people stop taking them. Li Ran/Xinhua via Getty ImagesMany health insurers and employers have long declined to pay for weight-loss drugs. He has resumed taking weight-loss medication but said he hoped to go down to a lower dose. Want to tell us about your experience with health insurance and weight-loss drugs?

☆ Americans desperate for the hot weight-loss drug Ozempic are turning to Canada and Mexico because they can't afford it at home

She found CanShipMeds.com, one of many websites that says it ships a similar drug, Ozempic, from Canada at a lower cost. Delp is hardly the only American searching for weight-loss drugs across the border in Canada or Mexico. Medicare, the federal program that provides health coverage for people 65 and older, doesn't cover weight-loss drugs at all, though there's a push to change that. People are looking to Canada and Mexico for cheaper OzempicCrystal Cox/Business InsiderUntil insurance coverage improves, people will look abroad to afford the weight-loss drugs.
