Note
A plural that exists because coverage can be counted as well as measured. As a mass noun it takes no -s (the story got wide coverage). The plural appears when separate kinds or policies are listed. Insurance talk is the clearest case: Milan Korcok, in the Toronto Star in 2009, calls health care "the most important and costly of these coverages." When you mean an amount rather than distinct types, keep the singular.
