National Health will end the appetite of the American people that think everything under the sun is a medical reason.
The Nationalized plans of most countries are quite strict about what is medical and what is elective.
People whine and complain now, Wait until they get what they want…Nationalized medicine. Then who will they B and whine to?
I don\’t know if I had the condition but until I was 13 (54 years old now) I had big boobs. Why? Because I was a fat boy. I got tired of being fat, told my parents I no longer ate white bread, butter, salt, etc., I started lifting weights and I haven\’t been fat for over forty years. Traded in my man boobs for pectorial muscles. When I was a fat boy with boobs I did get taunted. I wonder if the kid just needed a little bit of exercise?
how can our young boys grow up to be men if they are taunted about their man-boobs daily? I know what it is like to suffer from poor self-image, it took me years to overcome all the taunts I received as a child. This insurer should be glad they escaped only owing 5,000.00.
Yes, but where does it stop? I know really great people who have been taunted just because they weren\’t beautiful and it has really hindered their lives.
In my opinion, if it weren\’t for medical reasons, insurance shouldn\’t cover it. I have too much testosterone in my system and hair grows like wildfire on my face. Do you know how embarassing that is? But insurance won\’t cover it for me to have it permanently removed. What\’s the difference between me and tits mcgee here?
But back to the topic. The article didn\’t go into detail, but I don\’t believe this condition typically occurs in people who are not overweight. I could be wrong, but I don\’t see… boobies… (God bless you, Smarty!!!) on skinny, in-shape people. The kid was probably fat. I see lots of… boobies… on fat young boys far too often today. How about they put down the fork, get up off their fat behinds and get some exercise. Sorry, kid. You filled your bra, you wear it!
Exactly what I was thinking. I wish the article had included more detail about his size. I hate to say it, but that was the mental picture I got, that he is overweight. Even women with larger than usual breast size are asked to try losing weight before they will do the surgery to see if that causes a change in breast size to occur. It shows you how much our society is changing.
You know this kid must come from money if they have enough time and money to take an insurance company to court for this. it wasn\’t life threatening so why did they have to cover it. You know I’m a little pudgy i could use some liposuction. My friends tease me about being fat.
I ask you though? Whats more embarrassing getting teased about man-boobs or having an article put over the web for thousands of strangers to read about your court case on man-boobs. He could probably get a spot on that stupid show Jackass on MTV!!
Just out of curiosity? What size cup did he have/get reduced to? HAHA. Boobies!
I appreciate your comments Amazed, but comparing this to reconstructive surgery AFTER a masectomy is RIDICULOUS. How do boobs affect the quality of someone\’s life? it\’s not life endangering is it? it doesn\’t mean the kid can\’t go outside (he CHOSE not to). that\’s why I am baffled by this. Women don\’t choose to have breast cancer.
And for assuming that this kid may have been overweight, is a fair assumption. If it\’s a wrong one, then it\’s wrong, but you can\’t tell me it\’s far off the mark.
It just goes to show you it really is a man\’s world.
I hope Claudia never has to deal with a personal condition that will make her
\”choose\” not to go out. Walk a mile in his shoes & see how it fits. Granted we all may assume he is overweight, but who are we to judge. Besides, you know what assume stands for.

This is why people have such negative impressions of insurers. All that fighting in courts for $5000. Just pay for the dam n surgery!

Yes it should have been covered as it is a medical condition adversly effecting the quality of life of the people involved.
If anyone had even looked up the medical term that is listed then you would have seen before and after pictures of the men this effects.
Boys and girls most of the men effected were not overweight. One 16 year old only had one \”breast\” enlarged.
This should be treated as reconstructive surgery after a Mastectomy, unless you are calling that just cosmetic too.
OMG and \”boobies\” geez grow up people,you might want to put mind in gear, before putting fingers in motion.
