Some things I ran accross yesterday. My daughter is trying to quit smoking and to that end she's using a nicotine patch. In the course of the conversation, I discovered that the nicotine patch is not covered under the medical system. My reaction was that somebody was making a wrong decision because smoking causes all kinds of serious problems like heat disease, lung cancer, high blood pressure, etc., and all kinds of sugery that is covered. Would we rather pay for a relatively cheap patch, or very expensive surgery. I also discovered that birth control pills are not covered. The thing is, that abortions are covered Does it seem to anyone else that these little inconsistancies will no doubt cost us money.
