Argumentative Essay: The Benefits Of Cosmetic Surgery

Some people have decided that plastic surgery may help improve someones mental health and therefore should be included in health care insurance, I think this is just absurd. I am all for the improvement of mental health care considering it is very lacking in this country but I also think that until there is more proof to this argument we should not include it in everyones medical insurance fees. America is having a crises when it comes to mental health care and already doesn't include mental health care in many insurance policies as it is and this far fetched idea may not be a good thing to add in for the general public until we have more evidence to support this topic. However, I don't think general cosmetic surgery should be allowed, I do see the benefit of other "cosmetic" surgeries such as gender reassignment surgery which I feel these are less cosmetic and more geared towards mental health.Basically, I generally disagree with the idea that cosmetic

surgery is good for your mental health with few exceptions, such as transgender clients.
America's health care is very uneven and many people already don't have the coverage they need with premiums they can't afford and the new health care plan doesn't do much to improve it.

I think adding more coverage that is unnecessary for most clients and raising the cost for everybody will not be good. Most health care plans don't even include adequate mental health care as it is and I think we should get that up to par before we start adding on such dramatic procedures.
Although I don't agree with the cosmetic surgery industry in general, I do think it can help some people under the right conditions. I feel as though if cosmetic surgery were added into many health care plans, many people would take advantage of it by getting rhinoplasty and breast-augmentation surgeries. In the right situation though, I believe this could be a huge break through in global health care do to the growing population of openly transgendered people and could provide them with the care they truly need to be happy and health

citizens.
This topic is new and will probably be under much discussion before anything truly happens about it. The health care system is already broken and it should be fixed before we can add anymore "unnecessary" or "unregulated" coverage. In the right situation this could be a very good idea but getting this treatment to the ones that actually need it and not the ones that just want it will be the difficult part. This could be amazing but it could also be very destructive, only time will tell.
