"Foreigners seeking visas to live in the U.S. might be rejected if they have certain medical conditions, including diabetes or obesity, under a Thursday directive from the Trump administration."
"The guidance, issued in a cable the State Department sent to embassy and consular officials and examined by KFF Health News, directs visa officers to deem applicants ineligible to enter the U.S."
"The cable also encourages visa officers to consider other conditions, like obesity, which it notes can cause asthma, sleep apnea and high blood pressure, in their assessment of whether an immigrant could become a public charge and therefore should be denied entry into the U.S."
