How it that study after study has shown it is better to treat on problem that will fix a ton of others as well. This not only improvise the life of the person needing the treatment but cuts the over all cost to the insurance company in the long run. But yet the insurance companies claim that they have to turn down this treatment as they are not cost effective.
Take gastric bypass. An obese person needing gastric by pass generally lot more problems that are in direct relation to that one problem thing such as sleep apnea high blood pressure, diabetes, hart problems, and Bad joints. All very costly problems that need attention and there buy money every year. Were gastric bypass fixes those problems and many many others in virtually all cases?
So as I see it its not that they don’t want/ can’t cover these problems but that in some way they must in fact make money in some way by people having these problems and needing this constant procedures.
But then again most companies are run by complete morons who have no idea of what is best for the company or it s customers.
Now some insurance companies have figured things like this and I congratulate them for a very smart decision. I just wish I had an insurance company with half a brain to figure this out. I know not every one who wants a bypass needs one. But when diet and exercises don’t work what else it there to do? I wish I had the ability to talk to people who make some of these choices and just say what are you thinking? Granted I probably would not be so nice about it.
America is known to be one of the fattest countries in the world. And that is because we have become physically lazy are jobs are not ones that requires us to be active. So many people work in offices and sit all day long. This only increases the problems. Not to mention it seems like every year the “Normal” size cloths get smaller. Remember when a size 16 was normal? Now it what a size 6 or maybe even small? How in the world is a stick normal? Some meat on the human body is a good thing. And for use Rotund people who will never get down to a normal size (a real normal size not the fake fashion normal) in a healthy way is almost impossible. So we continue to struggle every day just to deal with what we have done to our selves.
Its easy to say stop eating so much. But not all at people eat a huge amount. Or gorge them selves at every opportunity. We simply are what we are. And would be glad to change if we had a real fighting chance at it. Remember the next time you so an over weight person don’t just walk by and think to you self so mean remark because you have know idea what they have/ tried to do to lose weight. Well it would seem my soap box is collapsing so I guess I should get down now. Thanks for reading
