From @Smlevy82 in @thehill: It is time to let go of the myth that #diet, #exercise and willpower alone are going to solve this #health crisis. It is time for all public and private health plans to... standardize access to care to #obesity treatments. thehill.com/opinion/healthca…
The government will finally cover obesity care for its employees — but not the rest of us

Blue Cross of LA does not cover obesity treatment. None of the Louisiana state employees have coverage for obesity treatment. More than 35% of our citizens have obesity. Millions cannot get the care they need. #NOCW2019 @ObesityCareWeek @ASMBS @ASMBSIH #obesity

Dear @lamarshall #bariatricsurgery is not EXTREME when you consider the dire consequences and increase risk of #obesity. It is not DANGEROUS, proven safer than a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and I am @NeilFlochMD not a PR xitter.cf/lamarshall/status/9467… – at Old Greenwich, CT

There should be a @siggyflicker on every real housewife franchise to interpret everything for us! @andy @Bravotv #RHONY #rhonj #rhoc
