Liposuction to Help COPD?

FATFREDO
Will my health insurance pay for Liposuction? I am a man with COPD. I am also fat, but only around my stomach, this is inherited, my father and brother have the same look. I look pregnant, with a big round stomach sticking out. I can not breath if I bend over or lay on my stomach. Will insurance pay for part of liposuction to reduce my huge stomach so I can breath better?
