I am fighting to get these insurance companies to cover obesity..
IT IS NOT COSMETIC, A LIFESTYLE CHOICE, IT IS A DEADLY DIEASE AMONG MILLIONS. And it need to be covered by insurrance.
Senate Bill 41 may be an old and forgotten bill, but if enough people get involved we may make a difference.
Here is an E-Mail Address of a personial inside of Senator Hagan's Office.

Mr. Otte,
Thank you for emailing Senator Hagan's office to inquiry into the status of Senate Bill 41. As you are aware, SB 41 has not received much attention in the Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee. It should come as no surprise that the Health Insurance Industry vigorously opposes this and other pieces of legislation deemed health insurance "mandates". Legislatively mandated health insurance is also opposed by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and the Ohio Small Business Council. That being said, we are still very much supportive of health insurance coverage of bariatric surgery. I have provided you the link to the Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee so that you and others may communicate directly with the members of the committee and its chairman.
Please feel free to contact our office if you are in need of additional information or assistance.
Thank you,
here is the website for SB 41

I want to thank you all for the support
this is not just for me it is for everyone
