I'm still wondering how the fuck blue states' Medicaid affords the procedures AND all the subsequent medications and complications.
That's the secret, they don't. You'll be paying off their Section 8, their Disability pension, their SNAP card, their Medicaid/Medicare bills, their everything until the day you die. Just be glad that when they buy cigarettes and flavoured milk 2% of your money goes back to the state government.
Funny how troons bitch about the paradise of socialized healthcare in other countries, and never realize they’re living in the best place possible for their nonsense in the US.
In European countries, the waitlist is years long. Not because troonery isnt as asvanced as in America, but because a public system is much less likely to tolerate faggots running up a six figure bill because they feel bad when they touch their wiener.
It’s a simple question of math: “How many lifesaving surgeries can we get for the same amount we’re paying for this dude’s fetish? What’s the failure rate? HOW HIGH?! Ok, set aside 30 spots for troon nonsense. Everyone else goes on the waiting list ‘“
This is the answer for a lot of issues that are seemingly extreme in the US and only slightly off in Europe. Europeans portray the US as some hyper-capitalist freak show where you either have a million dollars or starve, but the truth is that the
Federal (not even
State) government spends over a trillion dollars per year on healthcare and welfare alone. You can get student loans in the US for any degree you want without issue, in Germany you either pay for the Gender Studies course or you prove you are one of the top students in engineering/medicine/economics/computing/science/etc. By dint of the US being a giant cash cow able throw money at everything without a sweat, it becomes very easy to create programs with no efficacy, no end goal, and (most importantly) no money hole too deep. It gets even worse when you realise that the trillions spent by the Fed is supplemented by the billions spent by state governments on this shit. For every family of seven living off the government's teat, there's a crack head in California walking in to get their tax-payer funded castrati operation.
How is it acceptable to charge for revisions from the same surgeon? If you purchase a new vehicle, or computer, and it doesn't work perfectly, the company replaces it free of charge. Is there no legally defined expectation with plastic surgery? If they aren't able to execute what they sold you, aren't they responsible for that? They told that one girl she was going to have "a PERFECT penis". That's a promise he made to his customer, to deliver a "perfect" product. How on earth is the patient on the hook for costs to repair whatever it is the surgeon failed to deliver? Is this the same principle for actual medicine? If your transplant rejects, through no fault of your own, do you have to pay to try again? If your implanted device malfunctions prematurely, are you responsible for that?
These surgeries are not standardised. There is no legal expectation, there is no medical board standard for them, there is nothing but experimental procedures. The patients undergoing these butcheries provide "informed" consent and the surgeons are basically off the hook from that point. This doesn't mean there is no possibility for action, but if you take a Doctor to court for an obvious botch job you will not be successful because of the element of informed consent and the experimental nature meaning these results were expected, if not hoped for. This is probably the single largest reason people here are so fucking disgusted by the procedures, especially when forced on children; no one here truly believes that even a plurality of the patients who get these performed on them are actually totally aware of or understand the risks, requirements, future care, possible complications, etc. Even just Googling questions about issues of HRT or SRS will give dozens of results about how it is totally reversible, has zero issues, etc, when all clinical trials have shown massive issues, especially for children. Canada has made it illegal for Doctors and psychologists to provide anything but affirming care, meaning you can be sent to jail for trying to figure out if a patient is actually transgender. Informed consent for these procedures simply does not exist, and yet that's how everyone documented in this thread gets butchered.
If a transplant rejects, that is something you have to pay for, yes, it is an unfortunate aspect of the procedure that was expected to occur with some likelihood. If some routine medical device failed before specifications allowed, you'd probably be able to get the manufacturer or physician to replace it at their cost (plus applicable damages), depending on who is liable according to local laws.
