Default Universal Health Insurance???

I recently read an article about some place they wanted to make it madatory that providers approve and pay for sexual reassignment surgery, and I am sure all the the "prep" and all else that goes with it.

With the Universal Health Insurance idea, woudl these types of procedures be allowed?

What other things woudl be next? Would we start paying for abortions, voluntary amputations, pectoral implants, hair transplants? what, what else?
Fish, its not, these are just a few examples.

It would be a mess. Some states and counties already pay for elective surgery. The state of California paid for abortions. You had to apply for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and if you qualified, the abortion was covered. I'm not sure if that's still going on.

What happens if you have elective surgery and you develop an infection? What about mental health? Drugs?

Are we getting to the point where health care is a right? A free right? Why not water? Why not food? I guess I'm missing the point.

The most important thing would be to remove the profit in a capitalist enterprise? I'm so confused.
