- On Thursday, a senior administration official said out-of-pocket costs for GLP-1 weight-loss medications could be between $50 to $350 per month, down from more than $1000, at an event unveiling deals with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.
- Video shows attendees holding the man's head and bringing him down to lie flat as Dr. Mehmet Oz and others rushed to help while David Ricks, Eli Lilly CEO, asked, `Gordon, you okay?`.
- About 30 minutes later the event resumed and Trump told reporters the man was being seen by doctors and was OK, while the unidentified individual did not return to the Oval Office.
- The presence of high-profile officials including President Donald Trump, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, made the collapse unusually visible, with multiple sources telling The Washington Post the man may have been a patient on GLP-1 medication.
