A major California health insurer must hire a dedicated case manager for people diagnosed with gender dysphoria after state regulators found it improperly denied coverage to some patients.

Two major California health insurers were hit with the state’s largest-ever fines for illegally denying coverage for gender-affirming care in a case that will compel them to revise how they treat patients diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

So my health insurance premium is going to go up because my health insurance company will not participate in sexual mutilation

[Fido969]

They are trying to put the private insurers out of business.

[lastchance]

Yep.

[dynachrome]

“Nope, you are mentally deranged.”

Signed, dedicated case manager.

Just tell them that “gender-affirming care” is double-speak for catering to the delusions of a patient needing mental health therapy rather than providing it to him. FCOL, is there no such thing as mental illness anymore?

[Spktyr]

Nah. They’ll just exit California, like the home and auto insurers are doing..

[T.B. Yoits]

So... force insurers to cover liposuction for anorexics?

[Gene Eric]

no quarter for predators

[P-Marlowe]

Every day I find another reason to thank God that I was able to escape California.

>>>Nah. They’ll just exit California, like the home and auto insurers are doing..

Lots of exiting going on from Cali, from the public tax base, company HQs to the enticement of no State income taxes.

[Seruzawa]

Every doctor, therapist and govt official who is forwarding this gender dysphoria pseudoscientific fraud must be given life in prison. Minimum

[Revel]

If they were smart then every insurer would pull out of California.
