Talking News, Big boobs are not a sickness.
A LANDMARK courtcase has officially ruled what most men already know - that having large breasts is not an illness.

A court in the German state of Hessen has ruled that insurance companies do not need to cover the cost of breast reduction surgery as having a large bust is not a medical problem, Bild reports.

I support this decision. Cross my heart. Who can top this? It looks like it's going to be tough ti*ty for some gals since they nipped this in the bud. Udderly impossible to say the least. I must admit that this is the breast story I've read in recent mammary.

Ok, guys.....first serious comment on this thread...from a woman, of course!

The insurance companies are wrong (and the jurors who sided with them are wrong) IMHO not to pay for this. I hope insurance companies in the US have more wisdom!

Ditto for me kaykay - the back pain associated with having big girls is indeed a medical concern. This is just another way the insurance giants can keep more of the money they vacuum out of our pockets each year.

I am in full agreement. The woman even had doctors telling her that she needed the reduction for her continued health and to reduce the pain she suffered from. This is a sad day for women everywhere.

Door number one: I agree. I have known women with large breasts that suffered from constant back pain among other problems.

Door number two: I will volunteer to hold them up so as to alleviate the problem.

Door number three: I am in trouble no matter what.
