southsider2k5 Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Ever wonder exactly what coverages you get? Ever wonder what you are paying for? http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/cannon200406230906.asp This is the paragraph that blew my mind. Five different states require consumers to buy coverage for wigs. Yes, wigs. Other types of required coverage include alcoholism (45 states) and infertility treatment (14 states), contraceptives (25 states), acupuncturists (10 states), marriage therapists (14 states), massage therapists (2 states), and osteopaths (21 states). States have passed over 1,500 laws mandating that health-insurance purchasers (individuals and employers) buy particular types of coverage they may or may not want, usually at the behest of those who provide the covered service.

Texsox Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I remember when Chiropractic care was not covered by most companies. It took legislation to make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
