A thought on insurance and obesity
You might or might not know that many insurance companies will not cover prescription medications that help with weight loss. That makes no sense to me. Lots of insurance companies contribute to things like nutrition counseling, gym memberships and home exercise equipment. Why wouldn’t they pay on a prescription written by a doctor for a medical reason? These medications can be expensive, and it isn’t like there’s half off coupons or anything available for them. You’d think they’d rather pay toward something to help people take weight off rather than pay for the doctors care for the problems that come with being overweight.
