I mean, really, how could anyone think that the abilities to eat and to see are in any way related to human health?
I can see their point if instead of being fleshy humans, we are androids without mouths and cameras instead of eyes.
Then they can collect all the premiums and not have to pay out! Brilliant business strategy. Time to start converting people into robots.
I hope I’m part of a pneumatic delivery system! Like human centipede, but bidirectional.

And ears. Not covered (in the USA, at least) because “just about everyone suffers hearing loss at some point in their life” (aka not a profit maker) so might as well not cover it at all for anyone, including those with profound loss from birth…
That explains why teeth and eyes aren’t covered either. They are bound to degrade with age.
United States is fucked
Canada too. At least I can get a cheap pair of glasses online, but my god is the dentist ever expensive.
You can get teeth online, too. Even if they’re not the highest quality, they usually still have a reasonable amount of flavor left on them.
The visible state of a person’s teeth is far too useful a proxy for their position in the socioeconomic hierarchy to ever be sacrificed by making dental care affordable.
