I find it surprising that insurance will pay for it but not medically necessary experimental treatments for life threatening conditions.

I have Aetna and hate them. So glad my insurance premiums are assisting those who want to be castrated:

quote:

Single letter of referral from a qualified mental health professional (see Appendix); and Persistent, well-documented gender dysphoria (see Appendix); and Capacity to make a fully informed decision and to consent for treatment; and Age of majority (18 years of age or older); and If significant medical or mental health concerns are present, they must be reasonably well controlled.

You're asking the wrong question. What you seem to be asking is if insurance companies should be required to cover that type of surgery. That answer is a resounding NO.

If an individual wants to pay for that type of coverage and an insurance company wants to offer that coverage, well, more power to them. As for me, I'll choose NOT to subsidize that elective medical procedure.

Jimbeaux hit the nail on the head.

If a person wants to pay a monthly premium for that sort of coverage then ok.

Only if it also covers all other elective surgeries.

I mean, who's to say those women don't identify as 36 DD's?
