“…Broader populational weight stigma has emerged mainly from the notion that obesity can be almost exclusively attributed to a lack of individual self-control-an erroneous belief harbored even by many medical professionals. 1,57 Critically, these negative preconceptions have a material impact on the care people with obesity receive. Weight stigma has been shown to increase patients' avoidance of care and mistrust of their clinicians as well as induce providers to spend up to 28% less time educating patients about their health condition, judging these efforts instead as a "waste of time."…”

“…But perhaps the most pervasive and insurmountable barrier to effective care for people with obesity in the United States is deep‐seated weight stigma. Broader populational weight stigma has emerged mainly from the notion that obesity can be almost exclusively attributed to a lack of individual self‐control—an erroneous belief harbored even by many medical professionals 1,57 . Critically, these negative preconceptions have a material impact on the care people with obesity receive.…”

“…Extant Medicare medication coverage provisions have erected a barrier between obesity and other seemingly “more legitimate” diseases. For instance, under sections 1860D‐2 and 1861 of the Social Security Act (SSA), anti‐obesity medications are excluded from the Medicare prescription drug benefit 1–3 . These sections of the SSA reflect broader trends in inadequate coverage of anti‐obesity pharmacotherapeutics.…”

Policy Points Health policymakers have insufficiently addressed care for people with obesity (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) in the United States. Current federal policies targeting obesity medications reflect this unfortunate reality. We argue for a novel policy framework to increase access to effective obesity therapeutics and care, recognizing that, though prevention is critical, the epidemic proportions of obesity in the United States warrant immediate interventions to augment care. Reducing barriers to and improving the quality of existing anti‐obesity medications, intensive behavioral therapy, weight management nutrition and dietary counseling, and bariatric surgery are critical. Moreover, to ensure continuity of care and patient–clinician trust, combating physician and broader weight stigma must represent a central component of any viable obesity care agenda.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in emergency management presents opportunities to improve crisis response and recovery efforts. However, it also brings forth a range of issues and hurdles that require navigation. This study delves into the implications of implementing AI in emergency management focusing on aspects like bias and discrimination, transparency and clarity, privacy and security data accuracy and accessibility ethical decision-making processes, public trust and acceptance safety measures and regulations among others. By examining real-world instances and potential future scenarios, we shed light on the impacts and moral dilemmas arising from the use of AI during emergencies. The study advocates for crafting frameworks and guidelines while actively engaging the public in governing AI to ensure responsible and efficient utilization of this technology in such a crucial domain. By tackling these challenges head on, we seek to contribute to the conversation about harnessing AI’s capabilities, in emergency management while upholding ethical standards and safeguarding the rights and dignity of affected communities.
