Being told that infertility is a pre-existing condition so not covered is a medical issue. And unfair -- after all, fertility is not only a pre-existing condition, but it is very expensive. If health insurance covers the one, it should cover the other.
There are many excuses for not assisting adoptive families, and I've probably heard them all by now. I still wait to hear valid excuses for leaving orphaned children in orphanages, rather than helping families find financial means to adopt and raise the children. Most health insurance in the US comes as part of an employer-sponsored benefits package. As long as most benefits packages don't assist adoption, millions of children will continue as orphans aroudn the world, in orphanages or even out on the street. Seems very unfair to the children. But if people don't speak out on this, nothing will change.
