Should Medicare be allowed to cover additional costs even though it is running out of money to support those aged 65 and over?
Medicare to Pay for Obesity Counseling
In addition to providing the elderly with low-cost health insurance coverage, Medicare will now pay for obesity screening and intensive behavioral counseling. This has been set up to combat obesity in persons aged 65 or older. While some people are pleased about this, many experts in medical fields say that this program won't come through with many benefits, critiquing that if these types of people are obese when they reach old age, there will be little hope for them to break this habit.
