Post #164,788 by hnick 7/16/04 7:26:21 PM Reply	That was my first thought It turns out that existing law prohibits prescription drugs for obesity under medicare. This revision provides for treatment only. Not as nasty as one may think, for a change. I read this earlier today, but don't have a link. I'll append it if I find it.
