Rita Bettis: "Today is a historic day for civil rights in Iowa" (NY Times)

Here we go. I am sure some will think this is progress towards a better world, but would you feel the same way if you were paying?

Iowa taxpayers will now fund gender reassignment surgeries.

In Iowa, a judge on the Des Moines-based Fifth Judicial District of Iowa unjustly ruled that gender reassignment surgeries are ‘medically necessary’ for transgender mental patients. Such individuals will be protected under the state constitution which mandates that Medicaid and taxpayers pay for these controversial surgeries.

I am not familiar with this source, so I googled it. It could have been the onion, yes?

DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa cannot deny two transgender women Medicaid coverage for sex reassignment surgery, a state court judge ruled Thursday, declaring a policy denying their care violates the Iowa Constitution and its civil rights law.

Well that's very stupid. I can't see how it's not an elective surgery. But considering what those who are likely to most staunchly oppose this actually think about healthcare, I can only assume they're bringing this up for optics.

I'll give a week before someone posts "well you liberals just wanna make us pay for your dick removal operations!" completely serious.

Try reading posts before you reply to them. I very clearly stated how I feel about this.

Yeah, we all know what you can do cincy. I'm just proud you're able to manage more than "this is it!" nowadays.

That doesn’t really answer the question. You think it’s dumb and elective so you are against this?

o' but i'm enjoying watching this fucked up situation we call western society, going down the toilet. no wonder the muslim's think the only good westerner is a dead westerner, i would probably join them if their treatment of women wasn't so poor.

 

[eternaldarkness]

good ol' medical system profiteering again, at the expense of the tax payers. you can guarantee this was endorsed by the guild of surgeons.

Meanwhile the taxpayers are driving over potholes to get to work to pay for mentally ill people cutting off their dicks.

Assuming this is legit, does this mean the US now has public health cover?
