Great idea! Unless the SCOTUS rules otherwise, it’s the federal government’s job to regulate all health care. That’s interstate commerce, isn’t it? Given that, the only limit is our imagination. Good food, for example, is certainly related to good health, right? So is exercise. Even a good night’s sleep is a health concern. Therefore, there’s no excuse for not acting.
The federal government MUST mandate that insurance companies cover premium mattresses, top quality organic food, and fitness club memberships. That’s just a start. For example, a good mattress won’t provide a healthy night’s sleep if you don’t also have a climate controlled room to sleep in, fine food won’t help if you don’t have a dietitian, and good exercise isn’t possible without a personal trainer. Health insurance must cover it all!
Really, the sky is the limit. For example, mandatory exams will be required at every step to evaluate your health status and fitness progress. Yeah!
When all is said and done, only two exemptions to the mandatory coverages will be permitted. A woman will still have the right to murder their unborn child and homosexuals will still have the right to bugger their mates. See now? All hail the brave new world!
Epic. When do I get my gym membership, my EBT card specifically for Whole Foods, and my Sleep Member bed? I already know about the free cell phones, WIC and free Health Department health care.
