Why don’t health insurance companies cover smoking cessation products?
I’m really just whining here but if anyone has a true answer, I’d appreciate it. Health insurance companies want to charge me more because I smoke, but non of them cover Chantix, the patch, the gum, hypnosis, accupuncture—nothing!
They charge me more because I am a health risk, possible to cost the insurance company more in the future. So why not help me pay for things that might help me to quit, eventually lowering theirs and my costs?
WHY????
