Should health insurance cover non-medical cosmetic procedures?

In my personal opinion, I believe that it should because there are so many people especially women that deals with self-esteem and self-loathing from societal pressures to look a certain way and are constantly feeling insecure about their appearance. I believe that it will definitely help bring a change in this world especially women who deal with such drastic body changes after childbirth we know that typically happens with women after they have children especially through cesarean section that leaves them with many permanent scars, unwanted stretch marks and excess body fat leaving them to also having to deal with such shame of dealing with their husband's/boyfriend 's lack of attraction to them due to these circumstances.

I just feel like anything that involves cosmetology, it's often excluded such as grants for cosmetology school because it is considered an "elective" but even with anything considered an elective in this world is still a huge necessity to many people regarding physical appearance. Clearly we live a shallow world obsessed with looks and people should not be worried and concerned about what others think of them so please spare your "Love Yourself For Who You Are" comments and focus on the bigger picture here. Just as health is very important to all of us, apparently so as physical appearance especially amongst women who are often judged more so by their looks rather than men due to restrictive westernized beauty standards due to one particular stereotype of what is considered "beautiful". I think if health insurance does cover beauty treatments, less people will be dealing with these issues.
