This would actually be a valid question if said coverage would cover engine damage. Otherwise it's a silly question.



Both are maintenance items. You don't need birth control to live. I could go on and on. Should auto insurance cover new tires? How about new brakes? You need those to prevent accidents. How about health insurance covering healthy foods? Oh and should Aflac pay for your gym membership? Why not just cover everything in our life with insurance?



they do its called life insurance

Apparently you don't have life insurance because that is not what it does at all.

Wow. So your life insurance covered grocery bills, clothing purchases, furniture, college tuition, hotels, air fare, and so on? Wow, I gotta take another look at my life insurance I might be missing out on a lot.

You don't need regular checkups to live. Or pain killers. Or really a lot of things that health insurance covers.


Birth control can reduce or stop the amount of bleeding we do. If you had an open wound that kept bleeding every month you'd have a doctor try to stop it from bleeding, and that would be covered by your health insurance.

You shove condoms up there to stop bleeding?

No one said anything about injuries but you. I said maybe insurance should cover EVERYTHING in life. As in EVERYTHING. As in walk into a store when you are feeling fine, show your insurance card and clean out the store. Yeah. Insurance like that. Get it now?

Sure. I mean after all, health insurance covers checkups, well-visits, immunizations, and other routine health maintenance care, so why shouldn't auto insurance cover this aspect of vehicle maintenance?

Health insurance doesn't cover healthy food or vitamins, but then auto insurance doesn't cover gasoline either.
