What would you do if your child came out as transgender?

[Rifler]

You are wrong. If they can reduce how much they have to pay later, they could afford an initial investment.

I think what you're missing here is the fact that insurance companies don't really care how much they pay out,.. They collect premiums, take a percentage, and pay the medical bills,. The money always comes from the policy holders, and if margins begin to thin, premiums go up,... In fact, the more an insurance carrier has to pay out, the more they stand to make,... The one who potentially stands to benefit from this approach is the policy holder, provided they can be differentiated as a "healthier than normal client" and they can find an insurance carrier willing to acknowledge that with their premiums...

so when a doctor who's patient has gone through "meds and counseling" now recommends surgery, you think "no, that's too far. my feelings about the subject negate this doctor's educated, medical opinion"

No, they just have to pay for it. Again, someone could be depressed and suicidal about their appearance, but I'm not willing to say insurance should cover face lifts and nose jobs.

They are always fighting paying for claims, but I suppose you are correct. They win no matter what

are there doctors that say face lifts are part of medical treatment?

you don't seem to want to acknowledge that medical professionals have said these kinds of procedures are part of medical treatment. or you just seem to think that your personal feelings on the subject should supersede that fact.

What sort of rules would be in place, age wise? Reversal of surgery costs go to ? Fixed amount that patient must pay? Amount the provider has to write off? I could possibly be persuaded.

They always win, provided they are smart enough to accurately gauge and anticipate the cost of the services they are covering,.. Too high, they can't sell their policies,.. Too low, they risk tanking the business.

It's hilarious that you think this is equivalent.

It’s a start. Not the equivalent, yet. I hope we get to the point where it is though.

It’s a start. Not the equivalent, yet. I hope we get to the point where it is though. It’s funny your point was no insurance would do it, then it was oh that’s Medicare, now it’s “well that’s not the equivalent “ what a disingenuous person you are
