Uhm........this actually includes both "Medicare" and "Medicaid". Medicaid I can somewhat understand but certainly not Medicare! So we're considering spending money on people who have lived their entire lives as a male/female and have reached the age of 65 and desire to change their sex?? That's the most absurd thing I've ever read! Why change an ugly old white man into an ugly old white woman!
For the first time since 1981, when it dubbed sex-change operations "experimental," Medicare has opened the door to covering transexual operations, adding to the growing list of operations that would be allowed under Obamacare.
Acting on a new request, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said it is starting a new analysis that could lift the spending ban for sex-change operations with a goal of making a decision two days after Christmas and on the eve of Obamacare kicking in Jan. 1.
A 30-day public comment period just opened on the proposed "National Coverage Determination."
