IRS SAYS OBESITY IS A DISEASE

From:
Province Healthcare, Compliance and Ethics Update
A corporate compliance newsletter – December 2003

While a number of physicians, federal agencies and insurance companies continue to debate the matter of whether or not obesity is a disease, the Internal Revenue Service said for tax purposes it is. This means for tax purposes a person will be allowed to claim a deduction for some health expenses related to being obese.
