Society/Culture Healthy weight loss should be rewarded with free/optional excess skin removal and other elective cosmetic surgeries.

I want to make it clear that there is nothing wrong with excess skin or stretch marks. They are 100% natural, especially if someone is loosing weight or battling obesity.

But I think it would be a huge incentive to those wanting to get healthier if they knew any excess skin they may have can be removed if they would like it to be (without costing an arm and a leg).

The issue is who's gonna fund it. There's no such thing as free in the world. Resources are gonna be used and someone's gonna be performing the surgery, the resources used will cost something and the doctor performing the surgery will want to be compensated for it. It's a nice idea but the money's gonna have to come from somewhere.
