EVERYONE has the right to treatment [U][I][B]EVERYONE!
I'll expand on that if you don't mind .

Underactive thyroid

Diabetes treatment

Steroid treatment

Cushing’s syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Fluid retention

I would expect that health professionals would make judgements based on lifestyle and health history and not simply a persons BMI as the link suggested

@s james ,as you can see it really isn't as simple as you make out .It is possible to look at some one and say yes they are fat but without looking at their health history and lifestyle it is impossible to judge why they are over weight and to simply suggest that swimming ,jogging or getting off a bus a stop early is ridiculous
