An Obama-appointed federal judge is forcing Wisconsin taxpayers to provide costly sex reassignment surgery and hormonal procedures for low-income transgender residents who get free medical care from the government. In a recently issued ruling U.S. District Judge William M. Conley writes that Medicaid, the publicly funded insurance that covers 65.7 million poor people, cannot deny the medical treatment needs of those suffering from “gender dysphoria.” Officials estimate it will cost up to $1.2 million annually to provide transgender Medicaid recipients in the Badger State with treatments such as “gender confirmation” surgery, including elective mastectomies, hysterectomies, genital reconstruction and breast augmentation. The intricate operations are typically done by plastic surgeons.
The ruling culminates a lawsuit filed more than a year ago by two transgender Wisconsinites, who accuse the federal and state-funded insurance program of providing them with disparate and inferior health care on the basis of sex. Cody Flack of Green Bay and Sara Makenzie of Baraboo say they suffer from severe gender dysphoria that requires costly surgery. Flack, a woman, claims to be ashamed of her breasts and wants to have them surgically removed as she transitions into a man’s body. To make a case for the government to pay for her surgery, she claims that she engages in “binding,” which flattens her breasts and causes sores, skin irritation and respiratory distress. Flack also has difficulty binding her breasts due to a disability, according to court documents. Makenzie, a man who legally changed his name to Sara and wears women’s clothing, says his “male-appearing genitalia” causes him “great distress” and negatively affects his sexuality and social life. Showering and seeing his body in a mirror is “painful,” court records state, and Makenzie fears someone will be able to see his “male genitals” through his clothing.

PING!
Do you think people will ever connect the dots? Nah. Neither do I.
Jackass
Need to get a Trump judge to rule all Clinton and Obama Appointed judges are unconstitutional .....because they are!
well, bind my breasts, dagnabbit!
[ Obama Judge Rules Medicaid Must Pay for Transgender Sex Reassignment Surgery ]
Sure, makes perfect sense.
I mean, if you’re going to destroy America’s healthcare system, why not go all-Barack and go transgender?
what krap!
and who the hell are these socalled judges to spend our tax money /????
anyway!
(a genuine birth defect such as hermaphodism yes we must help them so long as we are gonna have free medical treatment....but that’s a pretty rare condition anyway.....
but.........
whereas gender assignment for wackos? this is krap, and sicko too)
How about a boob job for women? Only men can get breast implants and other plastic surgery?
“hermaphodism”
One of my sisters-in-law is a hermaphrodite. She was having some kind of problem and during the examination they found she had a tiny underdeveloped penis.
I really don’t like her. Just don’t know now whether I should call her a bitch or an asshole.
whatever happened to “if you cut off your dick, you pay for it”?
the "judge" will lose this ruling. Bigly.
Elective surgery. Why should the government pay for it?
The intricate operations are typically done by malpracticing quacks who should have their licenses pulled.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just do a brain swap? Tell AOC!
Ha! We hope you can be nice to her
“Ha! We hope you can be nice to her”
I haven’t dealt with her for a long time. And even though she’s unpleasant she had a son who died. He aspirated on pizza. Sadly, ironically, his nickname was Chewy.
Maybe they could outsource the loperations to Mejico to rein in costs.
It’s ridiculous. I suppose they’d pay for a mammoplasty if it was to repair a woman after a mastectomy which was performed due to cancer, but the logic for the trans patient is this: They need this surgery to make them happy and prevent suicide and self-mutilation (though I argue that reassignment is just that).
Bull. I have a number of conditions which are congenital, and thus out of my control. Their unhappiness with their bodies is no different than a housewife who wants a boob job so that she feels better about herself when she looks in the mirror. I had an illness and subsequent treatment mutilate my body and would like correction, but have been denied on numerous occasions by various insurance companies, Medicaid included.
Sure sounds fair.
What a shame it would be if all of these “patients” tragically died in surgery...
