Dylan Scott asks: Why doesn’t health insurance pay for more mental heath therapy?
I answered this question more than two decades ago: here, here and here.
Your previous answers still stand.
Apparently, no one has yet demonstrated that the cost is worth the benefit that can be gained by further medicalizing the worried well.
Michael Cannon’s article on short term health insurance has several good points.
However, he might have glossed over a pertinent fact when he states that short-term health insurance is renewable.
Well, technically, it may be renewable in some states, but here is the catch: If you get sick during your first policy term, then any ongoing claims will NOT be covered after the renewal. Why? because then these costs are a pre-existing condition.
Cannon left the impression that if you got cancer during the first short term, you could renew your policy and still have coverage for cancer claims. Probably not. The insurance industry is one up on you.
I don’t see why OTC status should be limited to birth control pills. Why not anything other than antibiotics and sedatives? Blood pressure can be monitored at home, more consistently and frequently than could ever be done in a doctor’s office.
