San Fran to Cover Transgender Surgery for Uninsured
« on: November 08, 2012, 11:40:55 PM »
Wow. I'd be interested to see some stats on how much money goes to covering those uninsured in "need" of transgender surgery and those in need of say, a kidney or heart surgery.

I wonder how many evil rich people will leave SF and CA so they don't have to pay for this sort of thing.

San Francisco is just plain nuts.

  • WTF?
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Cause some times you feel like a nut, and some times you don't?

It's too bad they don't yet have the medical tech to implant a womb.

Then after the taxpayers pay for TG surgery, they could pay for an abortion  =D
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Notice the order in which this was done....


The city's Health Commission voted Tuesday to create a comprehensive program for treating transgender people experiencing mental distress because of the mismatch between their bodies and their gender identities. The vote was announced Thursday.

Her department needs to study how many people it would serve, how much it would cost and who would perform the surgeries.

So, almost ten years ago, Dave Chappelle did a sketch about a reality TV show called "Trading Spouses."  it was a joke.  It wasn't supposed to be serious.  About a year later, Fox made it into a real show.  Seriously.  Look it up.

Eight-ish years after that, I turn on the TV and discover Honey boo boo.  So, wife swapping on national television to that... thing... In under a decade.  I would also like everyone to just think of the words "Jersey Shore."

Ok, with that in mind, I have a proposal:

Those people want their hoo-has mangled, and I don't want to pay for it.  So, make it a reality show.  Maybe not graphic videos of surgery, but follow them around before and after with cameras. I *Guarantee* you'll get something that idiots will watch, and advertisers can pay for it instead of taxpayers.

So, everyone have a good laugh at the jackass who came up with this idea....   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

And then look me in the eye and tell me I'm wrong.     =|

Azrael, that also sounds like a good way for Sandra Fluke to pay for her contraceptives.

I can't believe I inadvertently channeled Rush Limbaugh.  And in public.  :facepalm:
