Treating obesity isn't simple. What works for you may not work for someone else. Medicare isn't allowed to cover the full range of proven anti-obesity treatments, but it could—if Congress passes the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act. If it became law, this bill would allow Medicare to cover nutrition counseling, behavioral therapy, and FDA-approved anti-obesity medications. With so many things to work on, Congress may not appreciate how important this bill is to millions of Americans struggling with the effects of obesity. John, that's where you can make a difference. |
