Hmmm, I'm on the fence on this one. It's a very expensive procedure and is it really the courts and governments responsibility. It sounds like he has more problems than just needing a sex change.

 

[God]

The never ending stories of screwed up judges.

 

[Prick]

Keep them Judges in the States.

 

[BEER]

Keep them Judges in the States.

No wonder they are a few trillion in dept.

Maybe he'll get to stay in the mens prison after the operation.

Better to just remove his brain and leave his penis where it is.

So many people without adequate insurance.. and THIS is what the government will pay for??!
And Romeycare is supposed to be an improvement on Obamacare??!

 

[Jesus Quintana]

Yah that's the judge ruling on it - it's not a decision that is left up to the state. I'm sure that they'll refuse.
There's a big difference between getting a court order for something in Ontario and actually getting OHIP to pay.

well

he wants his nuts cut off??

I bet I can find someone to help him out in prison.

 

[peace]

I knew it.

"violation of Kosilek's Eighth Amendment right to adequate medical care" what about the millions of private citizens who don't get adequate health care and dont' commit crimes?

Things are fucked up all right......

So, let me get this straight, you work hard everyday, pay your taxes, contribute to society, and get no healthcare and you commit murder, and get a very expensive operation free?

Know what they are telling you? we value our prisoners more than we value you....
