CMS Obesity Treatment Petition

Please take a moment to read: Last week CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid) passed a ruling to exclude Registered Dietitans (THE nutrition experts!) and Psychologists from reimbursement for providing obesity treatment and counseling, the very two professions that could greatly help people without drugs or surgery.
If you are concerned with this ruling, you can greatly help by signing the American Dietetic Association's petition. We need 25,000 signatures for the White House to review: http://wh.gov/DWX

Just click on the above link, then the whole process takes less than 60 seconds to "register" and then click "sign this petition." Only your first name, last initial and city will show up publicly.

Thanks for all your help!
