The Trump administration is expected to announce, as early as this week, a deal with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower the price of their weight loss drugs in exchange for limited Medicare coverage, according to two people familiar with the plan

Give the people what that want: increased insurance costs and limited insurance coverage for medications. EzPz /s

So would people need to be on Medicare to get these prices?

The only thing they've actually announced is that Medicare won't cover the cost for everyone (just a limited number of people), and that for some people the cost will be low. They did not announce if that low cost will be for Medicare, or for people without insurance, or a private insurance.
