HHS mulls covering sex changes under Medicare, Medicaid
The Hill ^

Posted on 03/29/2013 6:12:44 PM PDT by SMGFan

The Health and Human Services Department is considering whether Medicare and Medicaid should cover sex-change operations.

HHS's Departmental Appeals Board is weighing a challenge to the department's ruling that sex-change procedures are experimental and should not be covered by Medicare and Medicaid.

The department had said early Friday that it would accept public comments on whether to reopen the decision not to cover sex changes. But a spokesperson said Friday evening that the agency has shut down that comment period in light of the administrative challenge.

Sex changes for idiots with major dissociative issues, yes.

Knee replacements for old white men, no.

It just keeps getting loonier and loonier. I keep hoping the left is realizing that they must get all the insanity out ASAP because they know they can’t last much longer. Then I remember Hussein getting re-elected..

Where have you been all these years? You do realize that liberals are sick, brain-dead morons, right?

At least in the past you had to respect someone who saved up and scrimped and saved and paid on their own for the “sex change” surgeries on their own....

But now they have truly become “Welfare “”Queens”” “...

So now those who scrimp and save for it will be “penile-ized”, pun intended because this will RAISE the cost of their “procedures”.....

Chumps breed chumps in this whole equation...

This is all window dressing for their base. January 1 we will face medicapocalype and they’ll be lucky to find a doctor to give them a pain reliever much less elective surgery.

This is a good idea.

I think I will get this operation every couple of months.

If once is good, more is better.

Even John Hopkins University Hospital has stopped doing these vile surgeries as they realized that people are MORE miserable after, than before. That it does not help the mental illness but only makes it worse. Evil, evil, evil. I think the time for mass civil disobedience is drawing closer.

If anyone wants on/off either ping list, FREEPMAIL me.

Deep inside I’m 24 and I have been for years.

I need surgery to make the outside congruent with the inside.

Once it is accepted that this is a legit medical treatment, there is no reason not to cover it.

Wait a minute. Medicaid and Medicare? Old people changing sex after age 65?
