    Well that's cheaper than a surrogate.

    There should have been some cleverness or a bit of tongue in cheek for that.


    There wasn't.

    No it wasn't snark. I was addressing how his wording seemed to exclude lesbians from gays, in a context where gays was used inclusively.

    I was talking about his lesbian comment in the op. You seem to talk like a Libertarian. Those are my people.

    He seemed to have missed what you were talking about also.

    Do insurance companies provide coverage for heterosexual fertility treatments?

    I had a coworker adopt, it wasn't cheap - they need to fix that

    course some on the right refuse to let lgbt couples adopt too

    I've had several friends adopt. It's not cheap, but none of these people were rich and they got it done. I've had family members carry surrogate children for other families.

    I would say generally no. There may be some that do, but I don't think that's normal for health insurance plans.

    Sounds like a discrimination lawsuit.
