Most medical or health insurance policies exclude coverage for plastic surgery if done solely for cosmetic purposes. However, if there is a bona fide medical need for it, for example, to correct scarring from burns that makes it otherwise impossible to walk, an argument may legitimately be made for coverage.

Why or why not should plastic surgery be covered by insurance?

Any surgery that is elective should not be covered by insurance. That is most insurance companies policy.

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.
