Significant health problems

This question and answer were forwarded to me by an MD I know:

From CNN:

"Question: Over 30 million couples suffer from infertility in the United
States. Most insurers will not cover this problem. Will the new bill
finally address this as a significant health problem?


Answer: There is nothing in the bill regarding this issue. One benefit is
that insurance companies cannot deny coverage to couples who suffer from
infertility because it was deemed a pre-existing condition. However, in
terms of covering infertility treatments or in-vitro fertilization, none of
that is made mandatory under the bill for insurance companies."

His response - "I wonder if his auto insurance affords for custom paint jobs?"

My thoughts:

I guess it depends on your definition of "significant health problem". If anything that makes you sad is a significant problem, then you're set. If creating stress, weakening your immune system, spreading disease, lowering living standards, resource consumption out of proportion to size and productivity, and shortening lifespans is a "significant health problem", then fertility should be treatable under the health plan.
