Under this mandate, any one of those procedures will be completely covered under her insurance. There is absolutely no reason why she should not contribute to whichever procedure she decides on so that my premiums don't go up and/or my tax dollars don't end up subsidizing it through the back end. There is a big difference between my cousin and a 16 year old inner city girl living with her baby daddy in his Caprice Classic. This mandate makes no distinction.
Why sign up for insurance in the first place? All your money is going to other people for their bad choices. Most people's health issues are due to their own lifestyle. If you don't feel like paying for other's choices, don't participate in a communistic system to begin with. Pay for yourself.
