I mean..........weight plays a HUGE role in almost every medical problem.
Also, I love this idea that fat people think they've got the market cornered on lazy doctors too quick to pin all their problems on the most obvious thing. Like, yawl, I invite you to dial up any old chronically ill or disabled person you know. I could go to my GP with a cleanly severed arm and a stake through my heart and she'd say "this seems like something for one of your specialists," and I know my experience isn't unique in that regard.

a) This isn't true and b) People have died because doctors refuse to look at anything other than their weight. I have been underweight most of my life and have even had doctors ignore symptoms because I'm *not* fat. The idea that this prejudice doesn't exist and isn't dangerous just isn't supported by research. I speak as a disabled, chronically ill person.
Larger people are also discriminated against in the job market and as consumers. Add to that the cultural and real life bullying and I don't see how it's not a form of bigotry.
