## Resource

A bill in support of weight loss interventions, particularly GLP-1 diet drugs, has passed the Colorado state legislature and been signed into law. Very similar bills are being pushed by the weight loss industry (and their astroturf “patient-advocacy” groups, particularly the “Ob*sity Action Coalition ”) in individual states and federally with the goal of increasing insurance coverage (and through that the market, and through that the profits) for weight loss drugs and other weight loss interventions. I’m going to go through the bill bit by bit as it relates to weight science, weight stigma, healthcare, and areas that suggest weight loss industry influence.
