Porno Pete and Bam Bam in a Panic Over Health Care Reform

Submitted by David Hart on Wed, 08/05/2009 - 17:34

Peter LaBarberaPeter LaBarbera and J. Matt Barber are unhinged over health care reform because it might include coverage for sex reassignment surgery. The number of gender reassignment procedures conducted in the United States each year is estimated at between 100 and 500. A significant portion of sex reassignment surgeries are done on infants who are born with ambiguous genitalia in which case, the procedure is medically essential. The cost of the actual procedure is between $10,000 and $20,000 which does not include pre and post therapy.

Using the high numbers and assuming that none of these are already covered (like the neo-natal surgery), we're looking at $10 million per year. What they are concerned about is 0.0004% of our health care expenditures or about 3 cents per capita per year. That, of course, is insignificant unless you happen to be a radical right wing Christian fundamentalist who is utterly obsessed with the sexuality of other people.

For his part, LaBarbera (always the class act) calls this "Tax-Funded Tranny-Care" The drivel continues with:

Transsexual activists … are caught up in gender confusion. For some, this culminates in body-disfiguring operations to “change” into the opposite sex. No American should be forced to pay for these nature-rejecting procedures with his or her tax dollars. Homosexual groups like Human Rights Campaign boast of their support for taxpayer-funded “sex-change” operations in cities like San Francisco.

So, gender identity disorder is imaginary? Let me guess. The real solution is to pray. All of Peter's prayer hasn't made him anything north of a mindless idiot. Why not discard health care entirely. Cancer? Pray. Alzheimer's? Pray. If one of Peter's brats needs a tonsillectomy, let the kid pray.

J Matt BarberBarber (never known for his intellectual horsepower) writes:

In addition to abortion on demand, the weight of the evidence indicates that cosmetic “gender reassignment” surgeries for both U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants who suffer from APA recognized “Gender Identity Disorder” (GID) may also be provided – free of charge – courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer. The current price tag for such a procedure can exceed $50,000.

Obviously, only the most superficial and incurious nitwit would refer to sex reassignment surgery as "cosmetic." "Illegal immigrants" thrown in for good measure which is obvious nonsense.
