You mean through private health insurance? Well, the regressive

D'oh.
So you would also deny treatment of gallstones, type 2 diabetes, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery
disease (CAD), a stroke, and sleep apnea for fat people?
Nobody held them down and shoved that pie in their mouth.
I was being sarcastic, Gregg-ster. You didn't see the "right. Right?" I
would hope you would have realized that.
No, I wouldn't deny coverage for anything on your little list, nor would
I deny coverage for abortion. And of course, I also wouldn't allow
anyone to exclude themselves from getting coverage. Universal health
care coverage for *all* and if we have to pay for it by selling a few
aircraft carriers or nuclear submarines or F35s, so be it.
