Congressional Briefing: Preventing HPV-Related Cancers Through Vaccination and Screening
Obesity is a chronic disease that increases risk of other serious health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers. With 4 out of 10 American adults living with obesity, access to and insurance coverage for treatment options are essential.
The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) was reintroduced this Congress with the goal of expanding Medicare coverage to include screening for and treatment of obesity, as well as coverage of FDA-approved medications for chronic weight management. Similar legislation is being introduced at the state level as well.
Watch our congressional briefing and hear from federal and state legislators, healthcare providers and people living with obesity about the importance of access to care and promising legislative solutions
