Why Should You Be An Advocate?
Obesity is a complex disease. The obese and morbidly obese often experience a wide variety of other health conditions (co-morbidities), which include diabetes, heart disease, cancer, sleep apnea and many more.
Adding to the challenge, people are often denied access to much needed medical treatment (such as medically managed weight-loss or bariatric surgery) as some payers and employers still do not recognize obesity and morbid obesity as a disease.
As a premier advocacy practice devoted to representing the interests of morbidly obese persons in health care and discrimination matters. We work with people all over the country who suffer from this devastating disease who are seeking help with:
Challenging insurance companies who deny access to medically necessary treatment and other types of health care for the diseases of obesity and morbid obesity through their internal appeals process or through external (independent) reviews.
Pursuing or consulting with victims of employment discrimination, Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)violations and wrongful termination based on weight.
Angie Flores encourages you to become advocates for change. You can impact how others view obesity and impact decision makers. Help us to eliminate the negative stigma associated with this disease, and make sure that obesity is treated as a disease, allowing for increased access to safe and effective medical treatment.
