Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for sex-change surgery, but that may change.

In response to a formal request from a transsexual woman, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on March 28 that it has launched a formal “reconsideration” of its current refusal to cover surgical treatment for “gender identity disorder.” …

I want sex change surgery too.

“Hey doc, can you just make it BIGGER?”

I mean, if we’re changing sex organs on the taxpayers dime at the request of the patient, that’s all I’m asking!

I don’t want a change but I could use an overhaul.

The federal government has spent a fortune subsidizing the killing of 60 million perfectly good male and female babies.

And continues to do so to this day.

Now they want to spend more taxpayer money converting mentally deficient adult males into inferior replicas of females and converting mentally deficient females into inferior replicas of males.

Why go through all of the trouble and expense to create make-believe males and females when they could just stop killing the perfectly good ones being produced everyday?

It is obvious they have their priorities reversed.

That Medicare/Medicaid covers anyone young enough to consider a sex change is, in itself, shameful.

I can see what's coming. Granny can't get a hip replacement because she's too old but any weirdo can get their anatomy rearranged.

my adult dtr is on medicaid....she depends on that to get botox injections in her neck every 3 months....currently, because medicaid hasn’t paid the dr since the last treatment, the dr won’t give them to her....I don’t blame him at all....but if they are going to doing sex changes willy nilly, shouldn’t they at least be caught up with their other obligations to people that depend on them...???

This so called sex change is nothing more than sterilizing the mentally ill.
