DO YOU THINK MEDICARE SHOULD FUND SURGERY FOR PEOPLE WITH OBESITY? Tanya Miller, Upper Coomera: No. It’s selfinflicted and there are better ways to spend money. Tina Csallo, Pacific Pines: Yes. Some of the people may not have the income to afford the surgery. Pennie Merton, Worongary: Yes, for those who have a medical condition but not people that are obese because of smoking or eating. Irene Giakoumis, Noosa: When it’s a health problem I think Medicare should cover it. Sean Alston, Christchurch: It’s about self control, and if obesity is self inflicted then no we shouldn’t be paying for it. Patricia Doran, Rainbow Beach: No. There are more important things to spend taxpayer’s money on.
