State Coverage for Bariatric Surgery

Hello all,

HB 1530 is a bill stating that bariatric surgery will be covered for state employees.  The bill has passed the house and the senate.  It is now headed to the governor for approval.  At this time, the governor is negative about the bill.  Please make calls to the governor's office stating your support of HB 1530.

Remember to call your state senator and representatives and thank them for their support.  It is very important that they stay supportive!

Also, contact your doctor's office. Mine is working on putting together an information packet, at this moment, to forward out to all of their clients to get them involved and for Governor Barbour.

It would be awesome for Mississippi to take the lead and the intiative in becoming the healthiest state in the Union!

The Clarion Ledger ran the story where senate voted against this bill.  However, it was revoted yesterday and the bill passed in the senate 30-19.

Governor Haley Barbour signed this into law on Monday March 23rd!!!

Way to go!!!!
