Insurance Coverage of Smoking Cessation Treatment

medscape.com;"The extent of power to buy insurance coverage for smoking treatment for State employees only. Treating Tobacco Use and Dependence with the help of the following, Prescription: nicotine-gum, nicotine-patch, nicotine-nasal-spray, nicotine-inhaler, Zyban, group-counseling, face-to-face individual-counseling,and telephone-counseling. Coverage for smoking cessation treatment applied to all state employees only."
Well must be nice.. That Our government is more then willing to provide insurance help for you if you work for the them. But don't offer everyone else, the same option if they want to stop smoking. What about the people who can't afford to get this kind of coverage? Shouldn't they get this offer free throughout the Medicaid Program. - Funny our tax dollars pay state wages and they still get better medical coverage then us.
