WASHINGTON – Under Obamacare, doctors can now refuse obese patients. And they
are doing it! Obstetrics-gynecology practices across the country have set weight limits
for new patients.
If you’re obese – you will not be allowed to schedule an appointment. If you try to come
to the office, you will be thrown out. Doctors said the main reason was their exam
tables or other equipment can’t handle people over a certain weight, but at least six
said heavy women run a higher risk of complications.
“People don’t realize the risk we’re taking by taking care of these patients,” the
newspaper quoted Dr. Albert Triana of South Miami as saying. “There’s more risk of
something going wrong and more risk of getting sued. Everything is more complicated
with an obese patient in GYN surgeries and in pregnancies,” he told WWN.
Under Obamacare, it is not illegal for doctors to refuse overweight patients, and
according to the Michelle Obama Rider to the Affordable Healthcare Bill, doctors
MUST refuse to care for obese patients.“People need
to know that obesity will NOT be tolerated in our
society any longer,” said First Lady Michelle Obama.
Weight cutoffs have already been enacted by doctors
in thirty-one states. Many who have long complained about high numbers
of lawsuits after difficult births and high rates for medical-malpractice insurance.
So for all those that are overweight and obese –
you’re on your own from now on!

Causes of Obesity
Summary: 3 Principles of Obesity
• Obesity has complex biological
underpinnings. In order to address obesity, it
is paramount that we better understand its
pathophysiologic basis.
• Obesity is a very heterogeneous condition
that calls for a more nuanced assessment of
the patient to identify specific subtypes.
• There is broad variability in treatment
response and it is likely that different
subtypes of obesity respond best to different
treatments. The practitioner should be ready
to trial multiple treatments and treatment
modalities in each patient.
