Negative Consequences of Removing GLP‐1 RA Obesity Coverage: A Cross‐Sectional Cohort Comparison Study

Lower reported impact among NHB and Hispanic employees may reflect disparities in perceived job mobility. These consequences may undermine workforce stability and offset cost savings that motivate coverage restrictions.
