Happy National Obesity Care Week! Did you know that only 1-2% of individuals with the condition of overweight/obesity receives medical care for this condition? Did you know that health care and pharmaceuticals for the condition is excluded from many health plans, has to be "opted into", and coverage only “kicks in” after a person develops a health condition associated with the condition? Did you know overweight/obesity is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States now? Did you know that obesity rates have risen and it is estimated that by 2030, 50% of the population in America will have obesity? The Obesity Action Coalition is one group active in addressing conditions like weight stigma, bias, discrimination, and access to equitable care. It is a cause about which I am passionate! It affects many people in many ways, and it is immensely treatable!
