Obesity Related Exclusion OR Obesity Related Discrimination???!!!

Well after waiting and finally contacting our new health care provider, I was informed that the company has an obesity related exclusion. No WLS, no supervised diets, NO NOTHING! I have come to terms with the ridiculousness and understand there is nothing that I can do about it. My question is: Are there people attempting to end exclusions like these? Is there a group that sees the unfainess and is seeking to make WLS available for all that qualify? Please tell me that there is hope??!!!

See the Obesity Action Coalition website. 

I agree!  Where do I sign up?!  I was denied a revision by United Healthcare becuase my company (Continental Airlines) has added.....only 1 bariatric surgery per lifetime....to our insurance policy.  I don't understand where they can do this legally.  Isn't this discrimination?  Our policy covers unlimited help for drug/alcohol addictions to go to rehab as needed.  Is help for obesity any less important? 

I know this post is kind of old, but I vote Obesity Related Discrimination. Considering the number of articles by respected medical leaders in progressive medical journals linking obesity to various illnesses, and documenting wls as a "cure" for some f those co-morbities, I believe that the insurance companies are guilty of discrimination. Anyone know a good class action attorney???
