Hi all,
There is a petition to white house to give a formal address on the topic: make it illegal for health insurance to exclude the coverage for morbid obesity and weight loss surgery when deemed medically necessary.
I ran into this issue when I began my journey and wondered how it is illegal to deny coverage for these two things when addiction treatment is now mandatory.
Here is a link to sign this petition: wh.gov/KrX
We need 25,000 for this issue to be addressed by the Obama administration.
This may not solidify a change, but it is something we can do to bring this important issue to light and keep it there.
Please sign and pass it on!
