if they do, they shouldn’t – save our tax dollars for real medical problems, for people who actually need help – like the disabled!

get a second job and save up, who knows bu the time you can save enough you could work off that extra weight and be able to spend your money on something better

    Health insurance only covers something that your health insurance deems necessary. They only covered half of my brain surgery and they won’t cover my wheelchair. So it will be pretty hard to convince them that a tummy tuck is a medical necessiry.

    I just know that health insurance companies are a business, and their goal is not actually to help you. So I’m worry, but that really is an impossibility.

    My cousin had her breast reduction partially covered, but the damage to her spine made it a medical necessity.

    I’m so sorry. Best of luck to you.

    It could pay for some if they consider it medically necessary.
    Like if you had really bad infections or rashes because of the extra skin that is overlapping. Your doctor would need to deem it necessary.

    NO, not for cosmetic surgery…because that is ‘NOT A NECESSITY”….like other real medical problems….sorry, to have to tell you…JUST SAVE YOUR MONEY…FOR A TUMMY TUCK!!!

    I hope to god medicaid does not pay a dime for your tummy tuck. I want my tax dollars to pay for something more useful like rounding up illegals on welfare and shipping them back. That way 2 problems will be solved at once. I had nothing to due with your overactive fork problems and why should I have to pay?
