Given that the Guinness record for the oldest natural conception is 59, I think not (there are a few cases of older women giving birth, but those all involved in vitro fertilization or the like).
What other astoundingly unlikely events do you guys think people should be required to insure against? Meteor impact? Virgin birth? All the molecules of air rushing to one side of the room and suffocating you?
It is pretty much the same as me paying [through taxes] for the FDA beef inspectors even though i don't eat beef. Just a socialization of the cost of basic government services (healthcare is among them, it is just Republicans are slower as usual to recognize the facts of reality, and thus "socialization" of the cost happens inside an insurance pool instead of society-wide as it would be in the case of single-payer )
You're wrong. The law says what the policy has to cover. Whether the policy holder is male or female doesn't enter into it.
