Should breast implants be paid for by insurance?

Kool-aid?.. Are you crazy?... You been into the cat nip again?
I want something exotic!
This is what I had in mind.

Okay.  The Jim Jones Apocalyptic Kool-Aid blend is reserved for those extremely hard to convert people anyway.  I will make a special batch of Carmen Miranda's Fruit Juice Extravaganza for those that prefer the taste of exotic fruity goodness. ;-)  

And while you're at it, let's move the location from Jonestown ... Place gives me the creeps for some reason

Oh dear this is so funny;))

There are other reasons for breasts implants. Just saying.

The question specifically mentioned "necessary augmentation for well being".

Thus, my answer addressed that "reason".

So, you think insurance companies should pay for  a woman who wants bigger boobies, but shouldn't question why the necessity of it?

Hello Harry:

I think an insurance company should pay the bills.  If it's FINE with her doctor, it should be FINE with the insurance company..

I know, that you know, doctors can be bought.  Medical insurance, like home & car insurances, is coverage bought for a specific reason. You know what will be covered, and what won't, when you purchase it.   If someone isn't happy with the size of their breasts, they can have the procedure done on their own dime, not mine.  

It has nothing to do with the government making a health decision.  Why should I pay more insurance so someone who doesn't think their rack is big enough can get implants? 

Hello SS:

Because if you don't like THAT procedure, somebody is gonna come along and take away a procedure you DO like.  In my view, insurance should cover EVERYTHING a doctor orders..

It isn't a question of what procedure you like.  Anything that is not deemed medically necessary should not be covered by insurance.  I don't want to pay because your tatas aren't the size you want, or because you don't like the gender you were born or any other non-medically needed operation.  That is not what insurance is for. 

BS....  Logic and reason needs to be included and not just willy-nilly on silly procedures like cosmetic surgery.  Under your illogic tattoos and piercings should be cover by health insurance because they fit the strictest definition of minor surgery.

Thank science most people have better common sense.

BTW I want to add it's absurd insanity like yours that gives helps keep better healthcare options from being developed.  You're just cutting your nose to spite your face with this crap.

Because the cost of the health insurance pool whether private or government funded shouldn't be burdened by  vanity and procedures that aren't necessary to the good health and life of a person.   Having itty bitty titties is a " too bad, so sad" personal problem.
It's absurd to expect anyone else to contribute to cosmetic surgery.

Hello Glis:

When you go down that road, some guy isn't gonna wanna pay for WOMEN'S health - ANY women's health. Somebody is gonna come along who doesn't wanna pay for addiction..  Somebody is gonna come along who doesn't wanna pay for blood..  Somebody is gonna come down the road who doesn't wanna pay for circumcision..  The list is endless..

To avoid those arguments, I think we should cover EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY..

Breast implants aren't a health issue.    Step into reality for a moment.

Circumcision isn't either.  In fact it's barbaric. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at April 19, 2017 8:58 PM MDT

Good.  I didn't want to have to force you to drink the Kool-Aid.  

Mark this day, Harry. I defer all my attention-whoring to you
