And to determine whether an obesity treatment works, Medicare says it could end up paying for large studies of the treatment's effectiveness.

Seems to me this is a very good thing and that they are taking a sensible approach. Almost nothing is effective for permanent weight loss. It would be very helpful to document what is and what isn't. And it doesn't look like Medicare is going to be suckered into paying for what isn't.
