We have a monumental opportunity to support Medicare’s proposal to include coverage for ANTI-OBESITY MEDICATION for all who qualify! The results are life-changing for our patients. Join our petition in support of this proposal–medical practitioners, patients, or anybody else can sign. Review the Medicare proposal. Pledge your support here in this petition.

Obesity affects more than 40% of our nation's population, and many others have metabolic diseases associated with pre-obesity. Both of these situations improve with treatment! Recent studies have proven that treating obesity reduces the risk of diabetes, heart disease, strokes, liver disease, sleep apnea, and more. What a powerful tool we can have to treat or prevent these pervasive diseases.

If this proposal is accepted, it will allow Medicare and Medicaid to cover these medications. We need your help to show public support for this. We have started this petition. Pledge your support. The Arizona Obesity Organization will submit our petition and a formal letter of support to the Federal Register.

Thanks!
