Insurance will sometimes cover breast reduction if it's shown that having very large breasts causes health problems (such as backache, pinched nerves, etc.).
Re: Lula Mae Lou Your comments could only come from someone who has never played sports competitively - and if you have, your commentary boggles my mind. As a person who was an extremely serious athlete for roughly ten years, I can say with absolute certainty that you just can't do what Phelps and other Olympians do solely for money. Do you have any inkling of how much the man trains? Of what he has to give up to be where he is? For YEARS? Yes, he is definitely making a lot of money already and will be making even more as soon as the Olympics are over, but so will many other athletes, like Usain Bolt. Don't hold an athlete's success against him just because he earns rewards for it - because, believe me, he has definitely EARNED it. Phelps may be fortunate enough to be built for his sport, but he doesn't just jump in the pool with no training and win races.
And did it occur to you that 1) Phelps is TIRED (who wouldn't be, swimming as many races as him?) and 2) Perhaps he isn't comfortable showing a lot of emotion when he knows that the entire world is watching him? I guess you missed his reaction after the 4x100 freestyle relay - that didn't look robotic or nihilistic to me.
