title: Witcraft v. Sundstrand Health and Disability Group Benefit, 16 March 1988.
abstract: The plaintiffs sought insurance reimbursements for sperm treatment and artificial insemination.  The Supreme Court of Iowa ruled that the words illness, sickness, and disease are used synonymously in health insurance contracts and that the treatments for infertility were treatments of an illness, or morbid condition of the body, that is, a deviation from the healthy or normal condition of any functions or tissues of the body.
