Is There Any Other Options For Breast Reduction? Insurance Covered?

I recently wrote to ask about breast reduction surgery. I determined back in high school that someday I would have that surgery. However, I could NEVER afford it. In the meantime, I have just turned 62 years . I had a mild stroke at age 48 (migraine related). I have had numerous health issues which caused m to keep putting off that elective surgery. I am now type 2 diabetic. I am desperate for some relief. Don't care how they look. Need relief. Many diets, gym time. Tried every thing.
