Who Gets Life-Saving Surgery & Who Doesn’t?

In this episode, Dr. Evan Nadler breaks down one of America’s biggest healthcare failures: why kids with obesity often can’t get the life-saving treatments they need. From insurance barriers to shocking racial and geographic gaps, this video reveals how where you live, your skin color, or your insurance card can determine whether your child gets proper care.

Using pediatric bariatric surgery as a lens, Dr. Evan exposes how the same disparities show up in countless diseases. He also makes the case for why America urgently needs a baseline level of obesity care for everyone, not just for compassion, but because real obesity treatment is the only way to truly prevent it long-term.

If you care about health equity, childhood obesity, or just how broken our system really is, this is a must-watch.
