Guest guest Posted May 14, 2000 Report Share Posted May 14, 2000 Dear & , Have either of you seen the " Obesity Descrimination " letter on Dr. R's website? I read it the other day and found it very interesting. If you haven't seen it go to search and type in letters it will be listed there. It may be something you could use in your insurance battle. Good luck. Best Wishes, Genz srozycki@... wrote: > > > Well my appeal was denied.
