Programs combating obesity expect to gain under Obamacare as covered patients lose | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Weight-loss outpatient clinics emphasizing healthy diets and bariatric surgery hospital programs in Michigan stand to be big winners under the Affordable Care Act with improved insurance coverage for services and procedures.
With 31.1 percent of the state's population considered obese, Michigan has the 10th-highest percentage of obese people in the nation. 
Louisiana is first with 34.7 percent.
At 31.4 percent, Indiana is the only Midwestern state higher than Michigan, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Michigan insurance experts project that up to 1 million people will either purchase private insurance under the Affordable Care Act's expanded benefits or gain Medicaid coverage through the state's Healthy Michigan program over the next several years.
"Not only will Detroit Medical Center see an uptick in (obesity-related) services, but all hospitals" will generate more business, depending on what health insurance plans they purchase, said Don Gulish, program manager of service line development with Harper University Hospital, which is part of the eight-hospital DMC."
