Most health insurance will not cover these medications for the purpose of weight loss. Even for diabetics, many require you to go through other medications like metformin first, to show that can't help with your A1C (which it very well may, but without as much help losing weight). There are discount coupons that come and go and bring it down to like $500/mo if you have insurance that doesn't cover, but they come and go. A lot of people are definitely paying a $1k/mo for their skinny-as-a-service subscription.
