Help Me Understand This One

I'm a strong supporter of universal health care. And so recently, an activist from Florida sent me this petition to sign, calling on Congress to call on insurance companies to include coverage of fertility treatments.

I hadn't thought about such an issue.

Should infertility treatments be covered by insurance companies?

I'm inclined to say, "No."

If a couple wants to go to great lengths to conceive a child, more power to them. But the money for such treatments ought to come out of their own pocket. I'd support helping couples adopt children already here before I'd give them an endless supply of taxpayer money to conceive their own.

It's not a healthcare issue.

It's not a wellness issue.

Our planet is overpopulated.

'Nuff said.
