 A new law will go into effect on January 1st that says commercial insurers must cover the cost of bariatric surgery. Senator Regina Barrow says the legislation has been in the works for approximately two decades, and after a pilot program of 300 state employees, they finally had the proof that the surgery is cost-effective, not to mention changing people's lives. They will go through a litany of things before they're able to actually have the surgery, but at least they can have the conversations so that they can live a better, more healthier quality of life.
