For this, we get Death Panels?
Sorry, Grandmother, Todd must get his weed whacked.
At least with tattoos, there are now methods to reverse changes one has made to one’s body.
With this stuff, there’s nothing to be done once you mutilated yourself!
Gack. Soon what will be left that shouldn’t be boycotted. Aunt Oriole’s Original Peach Syrup Company in Mobile, Alabama? I wouldn’t be averse to making it a rule that only those surgeries that are legal in the USA (so far sex change is still a Sweden thing) can be covered by US group health plans.
What if I just want 7 penises, one for each day?
What’s the cost of an Addadictomy?
It’s odd that, as the medical credibility of this stuff shrinks, the political appea just grows and grows.
Where is Rush with the names of these procedures?
What a freaking racket.
Shrinks declare it normal.
Gives cover for medical surgeons to offer it.
Insurance companies don’t care because their pool of insurers (ie all of us) foot most of the bill.
Outrageous.
It is totally crazy.
Everyone has body issues they’d love to change or fix on other peoples’ money.
I’d like some hair removed, some hair added in other places, and I’d like to be about 4 inches taller. And weight about 40 pounds less. And I’d like my insurance to pay for it because shrinks say I need it to be the person I’m not and it’s “medically necessary”.
But this is not fantasyland and nobody should expect to pick up the damn tab for me.

It seems to me that we in the majority should fight this tooth and nail no matter what state we are in because this type of absurdity in the end raises all our rates.
Is there such a thing as protesting coverage for this type of thing on the same moral grounds as coverage for abortion?
Or is it different because it’s insurance companies and private companies pushing it.
Perhaps we should get a list of all the major companies allowing this on their plan and boycott them.
This REALLY pisses me off!
There is no question of sex change.
The technique is “gender reassignment” which are what amount to weasel words that transform. So far we have no recorded instance of a transvestite male having his gender reassigned such that he becomes pregnant.
Self mutilation is hardly a means of self improvement. It’s a cruel and inhumane culture that promotes this as a pathway to improve self perception.
Agreed. Window dressing, at it’s worst. This is, I think, the other side of the fact that obamacare drastically reduces coverage for maternity. So, you can’t be covered for having a baby, but you can be covered if you want to look like Cher.
Using public money to pay for the mutilation of the genitals of people suffering from mental disorders is...
No words suffice.
Samuel Adams, where are you when we need you?

More evil insanity if anyone wants to read about it. Even John Hopkins Hospital won't do "sex change" aka "gender reassignment" surgery any more as it merely caters to the mentally ill and doesn't help them, they are just as miserable if not more so afterwards, but there is no going back after the mutilations are done. And to add insult to injury, other needed medical procedures will be limited for this. It's not the money, it's pushing Evil on purpose.
Amen! Bullseye.
When all is said and done an XX is still an XX and an XY is still and XY.
