 Quantified lifetime savings per subject: $14,431 from avoided T2D, $2,074 from avoided CKD, $1,512 from avoided CV events. Diabetes prevention is the dominant economic driver, not cardiovascular protection, suggesting targeting should prioritize metabolic risk over CV risk.

+Aon's 192K patient analysis adds cancer risk reduction to the multi-organ protection profile: ~50% lower ovarian cancer and 14% lower breast cancer in female users, plus associations with lower osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis rates. Adherent users (80%+) showed 47% MACE reduction for women and 26% for men, confirming cardiovascular benefits with sex-differential effects.

 The discontinuation problem is worse than just lost metabolic benefits - it creates a body composition trap. Patients who discontinue lose 15-40% of weight as lean mass during treatment, then regain weight preferentially as fat without muscle recovery. This means the most common outcome (discontinuation) leaves patients with WORSE body composition than baseline: same or higher fat, less muscle, higher disability risk. Weight cycling on GLP-1s is not neutral - it's actively harmful.

+Aon data shows adherence is the binding variable for cost-effectiveness: benefits scale dramatically with 80%+ adherence, with diabetes patients showing 9 percentage points lower medical cost growth at 30 months (vs. 6 points for all users) and weight loss patients showing 7 points lower (vs. 3 points for all users). This quantifies the economic penalty of low persistence.

 The Trump Administration deal establishes a $50/month out-of-pocket maximum for Medicare beneficiaries, explicitly targeting affordability as a persistence barrier. The $245/month Medicare price (down from ~$1,350) combined with the OOP cap is designed to address the affordability-driven discontinuation pattern observed in lower-income populations.

+Aon's commercial claims data (employer-sponsored insurance) shows strong benefits for adherent users, but the 192K sample represents healthier/wealthier employees with better coverage. The temporal cost pattern (costs up 23% year 1, then down to 2% growth year 2+) makes affordability barriers particularly damaging because patients who discontinue in year 1 bear costs without capturing savings.
