I read something in the paper today that pissed me off. In todays Star Tribune (out of Minneapolis/St. Paul) they did an article on IVF. The chief medical officer of an insurance company (PreferredOne) made this statement "It's not a life-and-death situation. It's a lifestyle issue".
Lifesyle? Really? I couldn't find their formulary, but I'd bet lots that they cover Viagra, which is totally about lifestyle, eh?
Here is the link to a site that has all the company's contact information. http://www.preferredone.com/contactus.asp
Also, a link to the Star Tribune website article. http://www.startribune.com/infertility/
I am going to write to PreferredOne and let them know what I think of their "lifestyle" comment.
