I remember being on my mom's blue cross plan, it also covered dental and eye care, it was affordable even though we were pretty poor back then.
The insurance I had before I got married refused (at first) to pay anything to have a metal splinter removed from my eye, they said they would only pay a certain amount if it became infected and was likely to lead to me losing my eye! I had it removed anyway since I couldn't blink because the damn thing hurt so bad, eventually they paid for some of it, but not much. If it didn't cause such severe pain I would have kept it in there, it was actually quite pretty and sparkled.
