GLP-1s, touted as a miracle drug by many, are slowly disappearing from Americans’ insurance plans. On a new episode of the Everybody’s Business podcast, Bloomberg News workplace reporter Taylor Nicole Rogers explains why companies are saying “no thanks” to one of the hottest classes of pharmaceuticals on the market. Then, hosts Stacey Vanek Smith and Max Chafkin talk debt. It’s hammering the US government, the housing market and many people’s lives. As prices for food, gas, rent and utilities continue their relentless march skyward, more Americans are struggling to make ends meet. At the same time, credit cards and other loans are getting more expensive. Jamie Feldman knows this better than most. She became a social media star a few years ago, when she posted a viral video about struggling with $18,000 of debt. Feldman began documenting her attempts to pay it down, take control of her spending and change her relationship with money. But since she started the podcast Debt Heads with her friend Rachel Webster in 2024, Feldman has learned a lot more about the banking and lending industry — and has a different attitude toward debt. She joins the podcast to discuss what she’s learned along the way. Listen and subscribe on Apple, Spotify, iHeart and the Bloomberg Terminal.
