  •  I thought by your (7+ / 0-)

    comment below that I just misunderstood what you were indicating in your first paragraph, however with this comment I'm not so sure.

    I doubt I'd support what I think you're suggesting.

    I don't know anyone who's had cosmetic surgery or a message that was covered by their existing insurance.  I'm not saying this is the case with everyone, but I know no one who's been privileged in this way.

    What other things would go uncovered?  What about people who've got different types of cancer than run in their family's genetic line or something such as diabetes?  Do we eliminate them too?  Or children that're born with congenital illness(es), do they do without coverage as well?

    I think I understand what you're trying to say, but I feel it's a dangerous road to travel because when it comes to eliminating or not including certain "things", after the first step is taken, each step after gets easier . . .  

    Sorry, but everyone in this country deserves adequate healthcare insurance.  Everyone.
