You're changing the argument. Should someone pay for those things? Yeah. The Scandinavian countries do and they're much better off for it.
It's silly to suggest health insurance companies should be compelled to though.
What's silly is for profit healthcare.
Our healthcare industry is just a massive profiteering racket.
Yes, because prevention is superior to treatment after the fact in both outcomes & overall cost.
Though it seems you have a differing understanding of "Medically Necessary" to my own so i suspect we won't agree on this.
"For profit healthcare" is a misnomer is should be called something like "profit equilibrium maintenance : healthcare edition"
The best outcome for a "for profit" is profit, not healthcare. Given the choice between larger profits and better healthcare outcomes the profit will win out, every time.
... Yes. It's a society. Society should bear the costs of what the most vulnerable need.
