Eli Lilly CEO Dave Ricks on Friday said upcoming Medicare coverage of obesity drugs could be a major catalyst for the rollout of the company’s closely watched experimental weight loss pill, orforglipron.In an exclusive interview with CNBC, Ricks said Lilly expects to have Medicare coverage for the treatment “immediately following that launch, and that will change the game a bit too.” He said that’s because many patients are currently paying in cash for competitor Novo Nordisk’s GLP-1 pill for obesity.

After years of global allocations staying low for most U.S.-based investors because of the weak returns, the recent gains amid shifting macro conditions and growing concerns about U.S. market concentration are leading investors to take another look at the lack of international exposure in their portfolios.
