Dublin Mum With Medical Card Demands "Fat Jabs" Free, As She's No Time to Work Out!

A big decision is looming in Ireland: should the HSE fund weight-loss jabs like Mounjaro (and Ozempic) — free or subsidised — and if so, who actually deserves them?

Adrian says if these injections keep people out of hospital, why wouldn’t we help. Jeremy isn’t having it, arguing most obesity is lifestyle and the taxpayer shouldn’t be funding “the easy way out”.

Callers go hard on both sides: thyroid issues, diabetes, mental health, motivation, “lazy” accusations, and whether there should be strict criteria or case-by-case approval.
