I think they may have just done a study on apnea patients. the products do seem to work for weight loss. this change in status may help "encourage" insurance cos to start covering it. seems stupid that they don't. I get that weight loss can be a superficial vanity activity but with real obesity there are so many other health issues that can be helped by losing that you would think these fuckers would be interested in addressing the problem.
