Biden proposes Medicare and Medicaid cover costly weight-loss drugs for millions of obese Americans .

Proposed rule would give millions of people access to weekly injectables that have helped people shed pounds so quickly that some have labeled them miracle drugs.

The proposal sets the stage for a potential showdown between the powerful pharmaceutical industry and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , an outspoken opponent of the drugs.

Kennedy , as President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the agency, could try to block the measure.
