(9) Mental health services.

So if I claim that if I don't get breast implants I will kill myself, then can I get the implants covered under mental health services?

Looks good on paper but you really must read the actual bill to discern that your caveat here is this: medically necessary

Obamacare will have handy "aids" to help doctors know what is "medically necessary".
