Meanwhile, Medicaid will NOT cover sterilization for anybody under 21, and then only if "the procedure is individualized, specific, and consistent with symptoms or confirmed diagnosis of the illness or injury under treatment, and not in excess of the recipient’s needs".

So the feds are making it very convenient to sterilize young women mostly of the middle class, but being very protective of the reproductive capabilities of women of the underclass. What does that tell you?

Thanks for the info. From your link:

“2.3 Mental Competency
The recipient must be mentally competent.
Note: If a judicial court orders a sterilization for a recipient who is a ward of the county, and is mentally incompetent, Medicaid is not responsible for the reimbursement of the sterilization.
2.4 Undocumented Aliens
Undocumented aliens are eligible for Medicaid emergency services only. Sterilization procedures are not considered an emergency service. Therefore, undocumented aliens are not eligible for sterilization procedures.”

Wow, Medicaid won’t cover sterilization of the “mentally incompetent” or “undocumented aliens”. Wouldn’t want to hinder the reproduction of prime Democratic voters, would we?

Healthy College Coed (potential future Republican voter once she “wakes up” and unlearns her college indoctrination) however—”how soon can we schedule your procedure young lady?”

oh, they’ll change (or try) medicaid. Hopefully they’re all gone in 10 months, together with every last aspect of Obamacare.
