Weight loss camp

August 25, 2008

Outrage at kids being priced out of these expensive programs:

Several national groups are pressing for government financing or insurance reimbursement for more intensive weight loss treatment for children, including weight loss camps.

Wouldn’t it be better use of funds to focus on preventing kids to be so heavy in the first place?

Perhaps if the parents of overweight children (young enough that they are not going out and buying it themselves… say, under 12) were billed for mandatory weight camps or nutrition programs for their children, they might be more proactive with their children’s health.
