Q. Does your healthcare system refuse service and let citizens die due to obesity?

Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.

Answered by Secondmedic Expert

 

No, of course not. Obesity is a complex issue and there are many factors that contribute to it. However, being obese or overweight does significantly increase your risk for certain diseases and health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer. And because obesity can lead to these other serious health problems, healthcare providers are more likely to refuse service to someone who is obese or overweight.

The good news is that obesity is a preventable disease, and by making healthy changes to your lifestyle you can reduce your risk for developing obesity and other chronic diseases. So if you're concerned about your weight or your health, talk to your healthcare provider about ways you can make healthy changes today.
