SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WEEK) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker has ordered the state’s Medicaid program to begin covering the costs of sex reassignment surgeries for transgender people. The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services will develop administrative rules to offer coverage to people diagnosed with gender dysphoria to pay for genital and breast-related surgeries.
“Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and I’m committed to ensuring our LGBTQ community and all Illinoisans have access to that right,” said Pritzker. “Expanding Medicaid to cover gender affirming surgeries is cost effective, helps avoid long term health consequences, and most importantly is the right thing to do. With continued attacks coming from Washington, this administration will always stand with our transgender community and their right to lead safe and healthy lives.”
The rule is likely to go into effect this summer.

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
So pleased that Illinois has so much extra money in the budget it can just spend so wildly on bullsh!t.
Having your genitals surgically removed and replaced free of charge is a RIGHT?
FATHER GOD,
Have Your way with ILLINOIS. Do whatever it takes to bring this state to its knees. Have mercy on those ILLINOIANS who love You and stand for righteousness.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.
This is the face of absolute insanity. People wait to have necessary procedures done and yet the trendy set adds this to the pile. We need a revolution.
This guy (Pritzker) makes ex-gov. Rauner look like a shining star (which Rauner obviously was not.)
Remember the Libs worked VERY hard in the ‘70s and ‘80s to get the nation’s mental hospitals closed down for “humanitarian” reasons.
The potential inmates are now running the asylum. More every single day.
God’s word:
Genesis 2
18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”
19 So out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all cattle, and to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him.
21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh;
22 and the rib which the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 And the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed.
Anything to keep the population down. That’s always a plus when you’re trying conquer it. There’s fewer people to fight and fewer people to feed. Of course you can always kill more when necessary.
Well, it will help if God can restrict the pillars of fire to Springfield and north of I-80...
Amen!!!
….And give the decent people a heads up if the pillars are sooner rather than later.
This is a very stupid very unnecessary very expensive stupidity foisted upon us by the wing night loser out of control Bizzarre demoncats
Nearly 100% of people that choose to do this mangling of their body regret it and either commit suicide or reverse it
The demon cats are being exposed day after day after day
Note to self: Do not get naked with any “females” from Illinois.
Between 75% and 90% of Medicaid spending is federal dollars. So, enjoy, you’re paying for it.
Can real women finally have their breast implant surgery covered, or is it reserved for men only?
Yeah, 90 percent of the counties voted for Trump and we still get ruled over by godless psychopaths, unabated. Chicago needs a good old fashioned sulfur storm!
In a system where they can’t afford to pay for medically-necessary treatment - they are going to waste money on ELECTIVE, Destructive surgery for morally bankrupt freaks?
