“Life-saving medical care”? Given the incidence of suicide among these degenerates, I’d say it’s more like life-THREATENING.
“Gender dysphoria” is a psychotic disorder, not a physical one requiring surgery.
When did judges become doctors?
this is when the legislature and governor should Sieze the homes of every justice under the Kelo Decision authority the USSC granted them, turn everyone into the Lost Liberty Hotels complete wirh bibles and copies of Atlas Shrugged
did NOONE challenge the claim that it is ‘life saving surgery’?
I am sure this is a real hit with the Iowa taxpayers.
Then the argument must be that if your covering elective trans-gender surgery then you must cover all elective surgery regardless of what it is.
Hi.
“The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state’s Medicaid program must cover sex reassignment surgery for transgender people.”
Elective surgery. These mental patients will survive without a chopadictomy or an adadictomy.
Iowans have 72 hrs to remove these judges or face the consequences. The “Stupidest State” award.

We’ve lost control.
Yeah...and tell me that with our “limited resources” we won’t prioritize something like this, that is completely politically driven, over the needs of others that are more urgent.
This should provide more incentive to reform the judicial nomination process in Iowa. Currently the process provides the governor a list of permitted nominees and the governor can only choose names on the list. But the list is chosen in a way that gives leftist democrats overwhelming control over its content, regardless of whom is governor. So even the most conservative Governor is stuck proposing liberal loons as judges. There had been some talk of reforming this several years ago under ‘Governor for life’ Branstad, but then the Democrats narrowly controlled the Senate and were able to block it. Now that Branstad has passed the baton to Gov. Reynolds and the GOP has managed to win both the House and Senate needs to be a priority. I don’t recall whether a state constitutional amendment is needed to get the job adequately done; in which case the GOP will need to hang on to the executive and both legislative power levers for a couple more election cycles to get the job finished. And not have their own SOS office drop the ball, causing an additional election cycle round as they did on adding a version of the 2nd to the state constitution.
Not paying for something doesnt mean you are oppressing someone. They have no moral claim to demand other people must pay for their elective surgeries.
The court is wrong.
“The decision upheld a lower court’s ruling that the state’s policy went against the state’s civil rights act, which protects against gender-identity discrimination. “
Maybe the problem isn’t with the judges but is with the legislators.
duh. At the end of the day, your DNA still says you're a woman.
Mutilating genitals is not “life saving”.
Liberals are a terrible bunch in that they do not help the mentally ill, they enable them to mutilate themselves.

A significant percentage of those who go under sex reassignment surgery have second thoughts some years later and get switch back surgery. it seems that those with self-image emotional problems can’t be appeased with multiple plastic surgeries, they find the issue is in their head, not what they do to their outsides.
“...the Iowa Department of Human Services discriminated against two women...”
I’m confused. Were they women BEFORE the surgery, or hoping to become women AFTER?
