Advocating for the fair treatment of obese people with insurance coverage for treatment of their disease

[StopTheWait @StopTheWaitNow]

All other diseases are covered by insurance companies but #obesity treatments must be a covered benefit in order to be paid for by insurers and the government allows this behavior as lives are lost. @askUHC @AetnaHelp @Cignaquestions @AnthemInc @Humana @KaiserFamFound @asmbs

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Most Washingtonians are helping slow COVID-19’s spread by practicing strong social distancing.

To those of you that can be but are choosing not to: Your actions could kill someone.

Stop it.

Happy to announce that the Insurance and Real Estate Committee has voted on a strong bi-partisan basis to vote #SB204 to support bariatric surgery to treat severe obesity, out of committee to continue the legislative process. @NeilFlochMD

The publication of this study in May by @drtominge is #medicalevidence that must be respected. #bariatricsurgery should be recommended more frequently with adolescents with #obesity @asmbs @cnn @time @Forbes @WSJ @NewYorkTimes11 @foxnewsalert @CBSNews @ABC @NeilFlochMD @obsmchat

[Leah Houston MD @LeahHoustonMD]

Reminder: The word healthcare provider is a deliberate marketing campaign meant to control and weaken a doctor's power. Devaluing physicians one move after another is their plan.

@DermHAG I appreciate your work to bring forward the message about moral injury, Howard. A very important topic. I also disagree that burnout is 100% explained as a symptom of moral injuries perpetrated by another. The evidence does not support that claim.
