Why is the cosmetic and beauty industry often excluded from insurance and other monetary assistance?

[Cherrylicious]

It seems like everything that I want to do that involves cosmetics whether it be a beauty school, beauty treatments or cosmetic surgeries are not assisted by the government.

I have been trying to get a grant to go to beauty school but was not able to find a way to do it unless I apply for financial aid which is something I do not want because I do not want to pay that back. However, it is always easier to get any sort of Grants for anything else for law enforcement, the medical industry etc that Cosmetics are always excluded.

You can't even get an elective cosmetic Insurance unless it is deemed 'medically necessary" which means that if a person has been bullied growing up for having a large oversized forehead in a big pig sized nose, then they are either forced to accept and deal with having such an ugly appearance or pay over $10,000 to fix something that they were not asked to be born with.

But why is everything accepted in financed by the government except for the beauty industry?

I actually find your question to be scary. But I will try to be gentle.

Where does the government get the money to pay for every penny it hands out?

Does it?

A. Grow on a tree and they just pick off what they need? or...

B. They manufacture it from fairy dust and unicorn poop? or...

C. They take it (by force if necessary) from hard working men and women who have families to raise and are already having trouble paying their bills before they even pay their taxes?

Take your time to answer.

Ready?

Now I ask you. Should the hard working men and women who are struggling to make ends meet to put food on their tables for their kids have to now worry about paying for you to get breast implants?

Because it involves unnecessary procedures. The key word is cosmetic which is just appearance.

If you want financial support it has to be required procedures!

[AI Opinion]

The beauty and cosmetic industry often faces exclusion from insurance and government assistance because it is generally considered non-essential or luxury, rather than a necessity. While it can certainly have profound impacts on self-esteem and mental health, it is not typically viewed as critical to one's physical health or safety. Grants and funding tend to be prioritized for sectors like law enforcement, healthcare, and education because they're seen as directly supporting public welfare and safety.

As for cosmetic surgeries or treatments, insurance typically covers procedures deemed "medically necessary" to address functional impairments rather than aesthetic improvements. It's an issue of resource allocation—public funds and insurance coverage are limited, so they prioritize what is perceived to be most essential for the general population's health.

Your passion for the beauty industry and frustration is understandable. Have you considered looking into scholarships or contests run by beauty schools or cosmetic companies? They sometimes offer funding to support aspiring beauty professionals!

because if insurance had to pay every of your whims, it would be insanely expensive. their pricing is based on a risk of people getting sick. not on the likelyhood of someone being insecure with their looks.
