New Rule Requires Doctors To Treat Trans Patients As Their Pretend Sex

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.”

So the patient we had, who was admitted from ER for sticking a screw driver up his a$$ that got lost up in there causing damage, and didn’t want to be examined because he was having cramps from his period, would have to be not only placated, but believed, for his imagined gender and condition?

Back then he was scheduled for psychiatric review - is that illegal now?

This is pure Cloward-Piven.

How in the world are nurses and doctors supposed to do their job? It just keeps gets better and better every day.

The law also mandates screening tests based on sex.
How do I screen the tranie for cervical cancer, or do prostate exams on faux males?

I guess that means I can get a prescription for the morning after pill if I claim to be female, huh?

The real impact of this perverted social engineering rule is head spinning.

This is really getting me to start wondering about the rumors about Chewbacca. /s

This is no less than complete insanity. Where in the hell are the Republicans on this? Surely they knew about it? Right? Right?

This has got to create the concern that the current TOTUS is no longer mentally capable, and never was, of performing his duties and he must be removed from office.

Go for it. Any "trans-woman" like Bruce Jenner who wants a pap smear should get one:

The Pap test is done during a pelvic exam. A doctor uses a device called a speculum to widen the opening . . . A plastic spatula and small brush are used to collect cells from deep inside. Let's see if Bruce is as tough as he used to be!

I guess all trans men will no longer be treated for prostate problems like cancer. and trans women cant have ovarian cancer so it would be malpractice to check or treat the problem.

Obama sure is making it nice for his trial lawyer buddies. I need to call one after I go to my doctor and tell him I demand a hysterectomy. If he denies my treatment I will sue him for everything he’s worth.

This is the new thing, laws that get continue to be written years after passage. A book of blank checks.

If they they thought their prostate exam was bad, wait till they get their pap smear!

Ramming that big cold steel instrument up that tiny little hole in their dingdong just might bring them back to reality.
