LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Thanks to Sen. Cassidy for Supporting the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act

Dear Editor,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Senator Cassidy for his dedicated efforts to improve healthcare in our nation. The introduction of the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) is a commendable step forward in addressing the issue of obesity in our country.

If the TROA becomes law, it could lead to positive changes in our healthcare policy. By passing this bill, Congress would update old rules that currently prevent Medicare from covering specific treatments for obesity. Additionally, it would make it easier for individuals to access therapy aimed at helping with obesity. This bill has the potential to contribute significantly to our fight against obesity, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for many Americans. Moreover, it has the capacity to improve the overall functioning of our healthcare system.

Senator Cassidy's support for the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act is huge for this effort. As a doctor and the top republican on the Senate HELP committee, he has a chance to bring this bill to the forefront of Congressional attention. 

TROA has the potential to make a substantial difference in the lives of countless Americans who are grappling with obesity. By not only improving access to healthcare but also potentially preventing avoidable deaths and promoting better well-being, this legislation represents a positive step forward.

Thank you again to Senator Cassidy for his commitment to addressing this crucial issue. Should the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act come to fruition, it holds the promise of positively impacting families and individuals on a wide scale. Senator Cassidy's leadership in championing the revival of this law is poised to leave a lasting legacy of enhanced health and well-being for numerous Americans.

Thanks to Dr. Cassidy for his dedication to a healthier future!

Sincerely,

Shayne Benedetto
