> Elevated blood pressure directly has a health impact.
As does Pregnancy. The medical costs of a normal pregnancy is $7600. 13 out of every 100,000 pregnancies brought to term kill the mother.
> Also abnormalities in the body are typically the realm of health care.
Define what is meant here by "abnormalities". If you mean "detrimental to health", you must include pregnancy. If you mean "not occurring in the majority of the population", since the majority of the population is not fertile, you must include pregnancy. If you mean 'deviating from some plan', who is making the plan?
> But still, there should be no mandates for coverage for anything.
An interesting angle, seeing as how health insurance, the whole Kitten Kaboodle, is ITSELF mandated.
We don't, and cannot have a Laissez-faire market in insurance without significant social and legislative changes. Our nation has decided to use employer provided health insurance as a replacement for (and to prevent the demand for) nationalized health care. Such mandates and regulations are inevitable.
