Obese Gain a Weapon

Here is an interesting article we recently saw in the LAkeland Ledger about obesity discrimation in the work place.

Wow, finally someone is taking notice.  I feel confident in saying that each of us probably could tell stories about things like this in the workplace.  I hope the fight continues - maybe insurance companies will take notice and not make us fight so hard for WLS.  Even though my insurance company "covered" my surgery, I owe Dr. R. an additional $450 and the hospital an additional $1500 (on top of the $1,000 I paid Palms already).  It's kinda like when they wouldn't pay for birth control but they paid for you to have a baby.  Go figure.

What a great anaolgy. Why pay for the prevention instead pay for all the issues that can go wrong!
