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.

What?! How is this a medical neccessity? My doctor wrote a letter years ago to my insurance company explaining my skin condition of rosacea/psoriasis and that it could only be treated with laser light and they refused to cover it. So I walked around for awhile looking like a blotchy scaley mess, yeah good luck landing a job like that huh. But they will cover if you want to grow boobs or get your penis lopped off? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. They didn’t care if their client walked around looking like a freak due to an untreated medical condition that just happened to affect her “cosmetically” but they are so willing to cover the real freaks so they can what? “Feel” better about themselves?

I have a list of modifications necessary for me to transform into both a large truck and a giant battle robot. Where is my government money?
