Do people HAVE to have sex to be healthy human beings? Mentally perhaps, psychologically perhaps, but physically? Many celibates live long healthy lives. However, many women do die from pregnancy and giving birth. Which do I think more important? Well, I've already made that clear.
Is it necessary to be mentally and psycholigically healthy to be a healthy human being?
What about counselling sessions? Should they not be covered by health insurance?
The mental and psychological state of a person has effects on his physical well-being and vice versa because humans are more than the sum of their organs.
More apples and oranges, but I hope you'll see what I want to express with these examples:
What about the little finger of your left hand? Do you really need it? I mean is it
essentially for you to survive? I, for example, could live without the little finger on my left hand. Since I'm neither a piano player nor a secretary, it wouldn't even handicap me in my daily life and job if I hadn't it.
But if I injured it tomorrow, I would expect my health incurance to cover the costs to rescue it and regain it's full functionality.
Or what about the treatment of scars? Imagine you had a big scar right across your cheek and it could be treated, so in the effect it would be far less apparent. Should health insurance cover the costs? Cause you won't experience physical illness directly as an effect from it.
Following your logic wiht ED, health insurance should not cover the costs of said scar treatment either.
Edit: I modified a statment in my earlier post, because it was perhaps mistakable:
A female body getting pregnant is no illness. On the contrary, it's what the female body is made for (Edit: please keep in mind that I say female body not women. I mean the plain bodily functions of every female mammal).
