No because insurance should only pay for things that are a health risk or bodily injury. I don't think that insurance companies should pay for any plastic surgery, implants, etc. Just the regular things...heart transplants, liver transplants, life saving surgeries, flu, cold, things of that sort. People who need to lose weight, should eat more healthy, go on a diet, excercise, do gardening, etc. Do not turn to gastric bypass surgery or liposuction or things like that...
Hope this helps!!!
In reponse to djbreed_2000, I disagree. If ther person had taken care of their selves, they would not have to turn that way. All that person needs is the motivation. Motivation to live, breathe, walk, play with children/grand children, have children, do things they can't do, etc. It's just really sad to see people eat their way to an unhealthy lifestyle.

Good question. Why should our premiums go up as a result of the careless actions of others?
Perhaps we should if the bypass surgery prevents the many and expensive health problems associated with morbid obesity like diabetes, degenerative joint disease and heart disease.

I vote yes,,,if you get so overweight that you are trying to get a bypass,then you don't have the WILLPOWER to lose it yourself...and it seems it would help with other health issues in the long run. United Health insurance does pay for it...Blue Cross rarely.

Im leaning towards no, because there are other alternatives. And when someone says they just can't loose it, I don't believe them. ANYONE can loose weight with will power and right resources.
