When the Dr was talking to me about going on statins they said that I could have a big heart attack and die. I asked if that was a promise. All I got was a funny look (and statins!).

At first. Lots of medical treatments start off expensive, and then the price comes down (see GLP-1s). And if it's really a one-shot treatment, and insurance companies won't have to pay for a lifetime of statins, they may think it's a great thing to pay for.

My doc wants to put me on statins and I truly do not want another drug (I'm on several for Ulcerative Colitis) so I'm trying this. Also adding or subbing in things from the Portfolio Diet. We'll see how it goes.

I tend to think we got lucky with statins/pak9i's as there are many lipid improvers that don't do much to reduce outcomes.
