The decision to include surgical intervention for myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism as a right for all those covered under federal insurance does not necessarily depend on the cost.
The decision should depend on the health priorities of the general populace. With an increasing demand for laser surgery, there is a need to change policy and allow surgery as an insurance benefit.
Policy designs aim to save lives and give the most vulnerable a second chance. It is not the surgery cost that should dictate when government should align policy to health needs. Again, the children population requires some of these surgical interventions most. It is necessary to do the right things at the right time instead of leaving these children to grow up under such medical conditions.
Thus, the medical insurance policy should change to offer insurance benefits. Otherwise, there is increased jeopardy to some patients' sight and human rights.
