State Could Pay For Weight-Loss Surgeries (WLOX-TV Biloxi)

Mississippi taxpayers could foot the bill for stomach stapling and other weight-loss surgeries as early as 2008 if the operations are deemed affordable. The proposal is an effort to shrink the nation's most obese state and trim long-term health care costs for the state.

Now this has got to be news.

With so many people being concerned about whether their insurance policy covers WLS, there will be a good number of happy slimmer faces if this legislation goes through.

Good on you Mississippi for considering this change.
