Christopher Gallagher, OCC Washington Coordinator
From October 30-November 3, 2017, Obesity Care Advocacy Network (OCAN) advocates took to Capitol Hill to educate Congress about the goals of National Obesity Care Week (NOCW) — that we as a country must change the way, we care about obesity by elevating societal awareness of the disease of obesity, those affected by it, its science-based treatments and weight bias. These efforts successfully pushed the Senate to pass the Carper/Capito resolution by unanimous consent on November 8th.
Throughout NOCW, advocates educated congressional staff about some of the major gaps in coverage for obesity treatment services that currently exist in the Medicare program. Advocates highlighted the necessity for Congress to pass the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) of 2017 (HR 1953 and S 830) to provide Medicare beneficiaries and their health care providers with meaningful tools to treat obesity by improving access to weight management counseling and allowing for coverage of FDA-approved therapeutics for chronic weight management.
More than 50 advocates visited 70 congressional offices — urging legislators to signal their strong support for TROA by officially cosponsoring the legislation. In the wake of these visits, a number of legislators have stepped up their support for the bill, raising the number of House and Senate cosponsors to more than 135.
You can find out more about the Senate passed version of the NOCW resolution here.
