OCAN applauds the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee for including HR 4818 (TROA) as part of the upcoming September 19th hearing

OCAN applauds the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee for including HR 4818, the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA), as part of the upcoming September 19th hearing on “Examining Policies to Improve Seniors’ Access to Innovative Drugs, Medical Devices, and Technology."

Access to obesity treatment and care is limited for Medicare beneficiaries and we are pleased that the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee has chosen to discuss the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) during this hearing. The passage and enactment of TROA would be an important step toward achieving the hearing’s goal of improving older adults’ access to life-saving health care.
