Across the United States, and here in Colorado, obesity affects millions of individuals, families, and communities every day. In Colorado, nearly 1.4 million adults, about 25% of the state's population are living with obesity, a serious chronic disease that increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and certain cancers. Too many residents face barriers to accessing the evidence-based care they need. Without effective treatment, health outcomes worsen, health disparities grow, and health care costs continue to rise. It's time for Colorado to recognize obesity as the chronic disease it is. Expanding Medicaid coverage for comprehensive obesity treatment would help more people access the care they need, improve health outcomes, and build healthier communities. Tell Colorado lawmakers to support Medicaid coverage for obesity treatment. Every resident deserves access to the care they need to live healthier lives.
