New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) decreed that insurers operating in his state must cover sex reassignment surgery. Up to now insurance has typically not covered this on the grounds that it is elective rather than the result of an unforeseen illness or injury.
“The whole idea behind insurance is that it allows the buyer to protect himself against events that he cannot control,” said industry spokesman Barbara Arian. “No one opts to come down with a life-threatening disease or to be maimed in an accident. We can insure against these events because we and the insured both aim to avoid them. But sex-changes aren’t inflicted on unwilling victims. They are chosen.”
“The effect of the Governor’s edict is to compel the pool of insured to subsidize the choices of the tiny minority who elect to have this expensive alteration to their bodies,” Arian continued. “The Governor’s mandate isn’t an expansion of insurance coverage. It’s robbing Peter to pay for Paul’s new genitals.”
Cuomo disagreed with the contention that sex change surgery is elective. “If a person is born with a congenital defect like a cleft palate, insurance covers it,” Cuomo pointed out. “Why shouldn’t insurance cover the more drastic defect of being born into the wrong gender?”
The Governor also rebuffed critics’ contentions that he lacks the authority to create this new state law. “What I may lack in constitutionally granted authority is overridden by the inherent moral authority possessed by every ruler,” he asserted. “As President Obama has recently demonstrated with his amnesty decree, those of us who govern must look to a higher authority than some piece of paper concocted by deceased politicians.”

And the asshats in New York voted for this little prick. Why not pay for breast augmentation? Or penile implants? Or lipsuction? WTF is wrong with these people???
I’m sorry. I know it’s Sunday morning, and I don’t mean to be so pissed, but I really despise my governor.

I would like to put forth a federal law requiring all registered democrats to become eunuchs.
After all eunuchs are an underprivileged, disadvantaged minority too, right? This way, the dems can feel their pain. LOL
The rule makes New York the ninth state to require the coverage, the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, an advocacy group, said on Wednesday. The others are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, according to the group. Washington, D.C., also mandates it.
We should put the Somali grannies to work, they can alter your sex with a broken beer bottle.
This is not satire; it’s fact.
Satire, at least at the moment, would be to make such surgery mandatory.
Will it also require insurers to cover sex reassignment reversal surgery ( and yes it’s a real procedure)
New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo will be the First to try his Eunuch Decree
It needs to cover brain transplants.
GOP USA didn’t consider the item satire.
