I generally agree with you here, but I must take issue with this statement:

“Health insurance that used to focus primarily on illness and injury now, by state and federal mandate, covers all manner of other costs such as smoking cessation, obesity counseling, gender counseling, drug abuse treatment, depression, mental health, etc.”

So it sounds like you’re saying that depression is not an “illness,” that mental disorders don’t qualify as “illnesses.”

Sorry to break it to you, but they are. And they need treatment.
