[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should I subsidize people who can't manage to get their lives in order early enough to have a baby naturally?  Insurance is too much already.  [/quote]

There are many different reasons for infertility and age is only one of them.  As the previous poster pointed out fully 1/3 of cases are male factor and another fully 1/3 are unexplained.

Why should any of us subsidize people that have medical needs that aren't their own medical needs?  That is the basic concept of insurance. So you basically want to get rid of the whole thing.[/quote]

No, insurance is you create a pool to spread risks within the pool.  Infertility is often a problem for women who wait too long to try to have kids.  That's a risk stemming from personal choice and should not be subsidized.

Risks of things like cancer, over which you have less control, should be included.  [/quote]

So no coverage for lung cancer caused by smoking or liver failure caused by a fatty diet or alcohol?  Or obesity?  Those are all personal choices, too.[/quote]

I'm fine with most of that, too.  The obesity one is a little more complicated because there really is something wrong with the food supply.  Even lab rats have gained weight over the past 50 years.  [/quote]

This is totally observational, but if it was the food supply, wouldn’t infertility be disproportionately be affecting poor women who tend to have low quality diets? It doesn’t seem to be affecting any one group more than the other.[/quote]
