Doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies may soon face lawsuits for treating male and female patients according to their biological sex, thanks to a health care rule finalized in May as part of the Affordable Care Act.
On the same day President Barack Obama announced his controversial transgender school bathroom policy last month, a somewhat more sinister mandate was finalized by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with consequences for health care providers, insurance companies, and American taxpayers.
The rule contains an explicit definition of gender identity that states a person can claim to be male, female, neither, both, or some combination of the two, said Roger Severino, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at the Heritage Foundation.
“It’s now federal policy that you could be both male and female in some combination,” he said. “That’s a pretty radical statement, and impossible to know what it really means.”

I’m sure your average gynecologist has better things to do than to look at some ding-dong’s ding-dong.
I believe around 90% of the OB/GYN’s in this country have been sued for one reason or another.
This is a bonanza for slimy lawyers to sue.
I can just imagine:
Dr., you told the former William Smith, now Deloris Smith, that you refused to deliver her pretend baby, give her a pretend pap smear or prescribe treatment for her pretend periods. This is clearly an actionable offense.
O my, “Lady”, you have an elongated tumor in your groin with two spheroids below. Let me get the Novocain, and my scalpel, and we will have you out of here in about an hour...
Giving a dude a papsmear should be fun
better re-design exam tables with higher stirrups so doctors can have better access to the “ladies” parts
This is pure Lysenkoism.
There, fixed it.
I always knew that the main point of obamacare was not health and medical insurance, but social engineering!!!!
“Repeal and replace with something MUCH better!!!!”
Old story from England
Doctors in trouble for not giving man cervical smear

An increasing percentage of our medical personnel is Moslem. What’s going to happen when a Moslem woman nurse is expected to care for a “woman” who is actually a man? What’s going to happen when a Moslem male orderly or radiologist is expected to provide female-specific care to a man?
If Orlando is any guide, the feelings of Moslems will override those of the sexually-upwhacked every time, suggesting that this “rule” has a limited shelf life.
It will happen...bet on it...
These trannies are all mentally ill. They ONLY should go to a psychiatrist or psychologist for any treatment.
A few of my patients are “transgender”. Usually female to male conversions. Often they need meds that require pregnancy tests. By law. I wonder which side of the law will protect me regardless of my choice on this issue.
Lol
Mentally ill people need treatment for cancer, diabetes, broken limbs, or pneumonia just as sane people do.
Lol
Ouch. That could hurt.
I think I broke my brain trying to untangle that...Please don't explain, I'm perfectly content to live out my years in blissful ignorance of such conundrums.
Proctologists will come out smelling like a rose on this. For once.
I’m going to pretend that’s not testicular cancer, Ma’am.
