More coverage means more spending—Washington’s favorite pastime. If people want to lose weight, maybe the solution starts in the kitchen, not the Capitol.

Good to see Medicare stepping up—because healthy lives shouldn't come with a deductible. This bill tackles the epidemic, not just the symptoms.

Another government handout disguised as healthcare—when will personal responsibility make a comeback? This bill puts taxpayers on the line for cups of kale.

More coverage for behavioral therapy? About time we invested in care, not just cures. Health justice means expanding access, period.

Finally, a bill that treats obesity like a public health crisis, not a personal fail-fail. Prevention saved should be prevention earned.

Data-driven and bipartisan in spirit—this bill might just bridge the gap between care and cost. Now, let's see if it walks the walk in real communities.

Medicare spilling into lifestyle choices? Next step, the nanny state telling us what to eat at Thanksgiving. Freedom doesn’t come with a calorie label.

More voices in obesity care sounds promising—but let’s make sure quality doesn’t get lost in quantity. A village might be needed, but it better be coordinated.

Covering obesity meds in Medicare? Smart move if it cuts future costs, but watch for price hikes skulking in the shadows. Prevention is cheaper, but complex.
