In a surprising turnaround, insurance is now picking up the bill for a Hub college student’s gender transition surgery.

As the Herald reported last week, fraternity brothers at Emerson College in Boston raised enough money for fellow frat member Donnie Collins to undergo surgery. But now that cash won’t be needed.

“I did not instigate this. It was totally unexpected, I was very confused,” Donnie said in a You Tube video last night.

Under Obastardcare this will be common. However, if you’re a 60 year old Republican needing a knee replaced, screw you.

About 30 years ago, my sister’s insurer refused to pay for her breast reduction surgery, even though she had doctor’s statements to the effect that said surgery would greatly relieve her constant back pain. The insurer said that it was “cosmetic surgery”, she had the surgery anyway and back pain went away.

We’ve come a long way since then, now insurers even pay for perversion surgery.

This hazing business is really getting out of hand.
