If insurance coverage made hearing aids available to everyone who needs them, the insurance companies would take a huge hit. Their benevolent sounding commercials notwithstanding, they are not going to let that happen. If you want to get steamed up about this, just Google "hearing aid insurance" or any similar phrase.
Just goes to show you how amoral and repugnant insurance has gotten to be. If they covered everyone for everything, they would make a guaranteed profit (since the young need so little). But since they are greedy, they start giving youse guys who are deaf the bum's rush.
