    Cystic acne treatment is frequently covered by insurance and the same treatment is desirable to those that suffer from normal acne. Emotional support animals required doctors notes and were desirable for free admittance on planes. Ozempic as a weight loss drug. Topical steroid treatments for treating inflammation. Glasses to see better than 20/20.

    There are all kinds of medical treatments (relatively) healthy people would want if they were affordable and knew they existed.

      Perhaps so, but it should be up to a medical professional (doctor) whether or not those treatments are appropriate for the patient. Not for-profit companies run by sociopathic executives. (Although in this case we are talking about state-run Medicare using private companies’ AI to make the determination.)
