Should insurance companies pay for enhancements as well as medical things too.?

Question

I mean if something like cosmetic surgery could help someone get a better paying job;couldn't that be a pay-off tooin the form of higher earnings.

Answer 1

Ain't gonna happen.  You want cosmetic surgey - you pay for it.  The insurance companies are not in business to "enhance your earnings."

Answer 2

What, you want everyone's insurance premiums to triple??  I don't know about you, but *I* can't afford $3600 a month for a family plan.

Cosmetic surgery is NOT medically necessary.  If YOU want to start an insurance company that writes a policy that covers cosmetic surgery, GO FOR IT.  You'll go broke, of course, because the only people that would buy it, would want to use it, so there won't be any spreading out of the cost.

Answer 3

If cosmetic surgery would pay off in the form of higher earnings for an individual, then that individual should view the surgery as an "investment" and find a way to finance it him/herself.  (Whether paying for it, taking out a loan, or finding a financial backer.)

Increasing another person's earnings is not the responsibility of the insurance company (or the people who pay premiums).

Answer 4

No, insurance shouldn't pay for cosmetic surgeries. Our rates are already high enough and if that was covered, our premiums would be $5000/month! And I can only imagine what that would do to our work force. We'd have people in professional jobs such as doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc, that are solely based on a woman's cup size. Forget about getting the job because you are the smartest,most qualified person, but now you get it because you've got the nicest rack. No thanks, you want bigger b***s, pay for 'em yourself!

Answer 5

i think they should start paying for all real medical procedures, drugs, and treatments. it would make me really happy.

not worried about the enhancements stuff

Answer 6

NO. And I would take it one step further.  It shouldnt be a tax write off either as a business expense. Im just not into something hot with a lot of artificial parts.
