Cosmetic surgery should not be covered (except for reasonable reconstruction reasons), but sometimes the aftermath of that poorly executed surgery might be.

Steve poor people (on welfare) don't pay for anything so they would also be exempt from this charge. I did say a nominal charge so I meant something in the $5 to $10 range for an initial visit. This would not hurt anyone but it would make some people think twice before going to the hospital unnecessarily.
I think that most reconstructive surgery is covered under our system but elective cosmetic surgery is definitely not covered.
