Yeah, it could be considered a procedure of convenience, but it's just as much a procedure of prevention. I don't wanna knock anybody up, and I'm taking some responsibility for it. Insurance covers the pill in some cases, why not cover this?

Health Insurance only covers the pill if the woman is taking it to relieve a medical condition. If she is just taking it for contraceptive reasons, insurance won't cover it. These medical conditions include irregular cycle, heavy bleeding/cramps, and acne. Not being able to get pregnant is just a bonus.
Your health insurance is not going to cover this surgery if it is not necessary. Also, having surgery done of any kind is a risk and this one can be pretty painful. Recovery time is usually at least a week, but sometimes the pain in that area can take weeks or years to go away. They have also linked this type of surgery to increasing the risk of getting dementia later.
Also, this is considered permanent surgery, sometimes they can do a reversal, but it is not always effective. I think electing to do this kind of surgery is kind of drastic just so you don't have to worry about getting someone pregnant. There are so many kinds of contraceptives out there today that are cheap, effective, and you that you don't have to get surgery for. Birth Control Pills are probably one of the world's greatest inventions.
