Any surgery that is elective should not be covered by insurance. That is most insurance companies policy. However, many people find a way around their insurance by claiming, either truthfully or falsely, that a particular surgery is medically necessary. These then are the same people who complain about insurance rates. When insurance has to pay out for procedures that are not necessary, it affects everyone because they raise premiums. So, if we want affordably healthcare, we will not lie about medically unnecessary surgery.
