Insurance exclusion for MO

My insurance - Alliance BC/BS of Missouri explicitly states "effective with groups first plan year..after Oct.1,1999, your program will no longer cover surgery for morbid obesity. All weight loss treatment and care for obesity will be excluded." Seems pretty iron clad. Would it be a waste of time to attempt pursuit? Should I just change insurance carrier? It is infuriating that because I can afford to purchase insurance, I am not afforded the same coverage that medicaid would offer!!!!!!!
