It would seem a solution to healthcare has been found.
I mean, it is historically how we solved all our other problems. Its not even particularly American, as much as I wish we could claim it. Lots of movements have been aided by gun violence.
as much as I wish we could claim it.
You really wish you could claim that shit? 🤨
Ah man I hadn’t heard that
He was on a Greyhound bus traveling through Altoona on Monday morning, sources said, when he got off and walked into a McDonald’s where a witness recognized him from the images of the suspect circulated by police.
Mangione was sitting and eating when a McDonald’s employee reported him…
I guess the McDonald’s employees didn’t get the memo going around that if you see something, no you didn’t.
For my transguy homies, you absolutely should never reduce your T dosage in the week leading up to your blood tests with your doctor. Because if you do, your doctor may prescribe more T than you actually need, and then you may have too much on hand that stays fresh when stored properly. This would probably be illegal because T is a controlled substance, and may become banned under the Trump administration.
The transfems out there definitely shouldn’t do this with their estrogen either. Definitely not.
Is estrogen also a controlled substance like testosterone is? I’ve always wondered
Funny how hard CEOs will work to please their customers, IF they fear them.
I actually figured that the coverage for gender affirming care is one of the least awful things about UHC. That said I guess I’m not surprised about it initially not being covered.
Edit: actually hold on, my benefits guide definitely used to say something about them paying for travel to a safe state for care and even some hotel nights being covered, but I don’t see that anymore…

Only if they actually cover it. If they send you through a pinball machine of denials and rejections, its just a new way of tormenting trans people.

Red States have been tightening the noose on pregnant women, both explicitly and implicitly. So its likely the UHC folks chickened out and pulled the language for fear of provoking a state AG in Texas, Missouri, or Florida.
Testosterone is also prescribed for actual medical conditions - such as someone losing a testicle from cancer and thus requiring a testosterone boost to maintain regular hormone levels.
Edit: leaving the original text but clarifying: I should have used the words physiological conditions instead of medical conditions. There are physiological reasons why someone would need testosterone, as I mentioned in a reply: testicular cancer resulting in the loss of a testicle, hormonal imbalances resulting in reduced production in testosterone, and more.
I mean as far as the body not working correctly - not to downplay elective gender treatments.
Low testosterone in anybody is not a fun time.
S’why they call him ‘the adjustor’
