That's certainly not true of medical insurance. Preventative care is part of the whole package. In fact, certain preventative care is encouraged. Health insurance companies are more than happy to pay for UTIs, for instance, because they're so much cheaper than pregnancies.
Did you mean IUDs? Can't get preggo from a UTI...
... yes.
Although UTIs can sterilize you.
Medical has been warped into a Frankenstein product that is partially insurance, discount club, and prepayment system.
That's only in countries with sane health insurance. In America quarter profit seeking insurance, preventive care is a short term loss and therefore not paid, even when they affect long term profits.
