I am one of the "patients" that the state covered for the procedure as well as a few other related surgeries not genital-related (but not usually covered by Medicaid), and it wasn't a handful of people who got the surgery paid for, to be exact it was three.

You are one of the patients that the TAX PAYERS COVERED for the surgery. It's not the states' money, It's not your money. It's the peoples' money. Many people think it's sick and disgusting and wrong and don't think that their tax dollars should go to it. What's next, taxpayer funded abortions?

I work for a living, and qualify for Medicaid coverage, so that's where you're wrong...it's MY money. Only 3 surgeries were ever paid for in Medicaid history. How many of the fat old White men have had or will need heart surgery and related procedures due to poor eating habits and/or unhealthy lifestyles paid for by their insurance? The cost has been in the millions, if not billions! Yet 3 sex-change surgeries at Medicaid's reimbursement rate of 45% is under $30,000 total for all 3. Yeah, real hysteria to worry about there. That's why I live stealth, because of people like you. You say it's sick and disgusting? 1 in 3 women in the United States is raped/sexually assaulted sometime in their lifetime. Now THAT'S sick and disgusting!
