Grant Medical Care/surgery for US citizens with over 50% body mass index(BMI) who cannot afford to pay out of pocket.

Obesity is currently a major problem in America, from Adults and youth, there is no question. Obesity is the #1 cause of death for it is linked to Heart Disease, Diabetes, and other physical issues, not to mention the mental/emotional tolls an extremely obese person suffers from others. Doctors are not to eager to operate on extremely obese people in California because of the risks involved. There is current legislature that says in a Liposuction procedure "only 600ml can be take from one area every six to nine months."
So I say, if a person can show that they need this level of care so as to live a healthy and happy life, they should have it regardless as long as they qualify economically and can develop a long term health and wellness plan, that fully funded care should be granted.
