I wonder how people feel about this issue? Since she wasn't "sick" this has to be "elective" surgery in the eyes of her insurance so I'm presuming not a penny of it would be covered.

She's fortunate that she can afford to pay for what is undoubtedly and expensive medical procedure. It just strikes me as an odd thing to do and I wondered what people think of it.

It’s her life and it’s her money. I have absolutely no issue with this.

Its a numbers game. 40% of women with her mutation will get ovarian cancer while 70%+ will get breast cancer. She did the smart thing.

When the wind blows she must whistle like an empty coke bottle.

Angelina Jolie is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

She’s just doing her brainwashed part to carry out the agendas of our elite nwo friends.

My aunt was a 30+ year breast cancer survivor.

The primary “treatments” prescribed by new world order’s bloodthirsty medical industry are the same medieval treatments available when she was first diagnosed; radiation and “chemotherapy”.

NWO is having fun for over a century now playing with the poisons of radiation and “chemotherapy” as a “medicine”, while they make sure that their medical research industry turns up no significant information about how do do anything silly like find root causes and actual real, healthy solutions to them.

Women have been doing this for years, long before Jolie did this. It's a very common surgery. They just don't talk about it because they're not in the spotlight...

If their families have a history of cancer at a young age, the insurance company will pay for genetics testing. If a woman tests positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2, she's considered high risk for ovarian cancer, too, and the insurance company will pay for preventive surgery to remove the ovaries.

Believe me, she didn't make this decision lightly. An oophorectomy can be a quick surgery with an easy recovery, but the ovaries offer many benefits, such as protecting against heart disease. To remove them is a big decision.

But ovarian cancer is very sneaky, hard to catch at an early stage, and that's why some women have this surgery.

COUNTrecount posted a link to Jolie's whole story, by the way. After reading it, you all should understand why she made this decision:
