How is this legal?

BC/BS has now decided that for WLS to be deemed medically necessary, you have to have been on a doctor-supervised diet for the 6 months immediately preceeding the procedure! How is this not discrimination?!? Do people needing gall bladder surgery or a hysterectomy have to wait 6 additional months from the date the surgeon feels the procedures are medically necessary for the insurance to approve? What next!!
