    Pretty sure that didn't happen.

    Brucett, AFAIK not only is keeping his pee pee, but says is attracted to women.
    Recap, desperately wants to be known as a women, converts to stage name Caitlyn.
    Keeps pee pee and states is sexually attracted to women.
    Yet says is not lezbo.

    Rumor that Kris wants to become a man so they can re marry, while fitting is also said to be a ratings grab.

    Good for Bruce. Maybe he'll snap out of his funk and not committ suicide like so many are prone to do.

    On your other note: With as big as we are in organic we've been a step ahead the whole time at the request of the Costcos/Whole Foods of the world. US ranches GAP certified, Mexican/Peruvian ranches and packing houses Fair Trade certified etc. But it's a ing avocado with a thick ass skin, none of matters to the inside of the fruit, none of it. The Fair Trade stuff is a nice idea but with as corrupt and cartel run a lot of the areas are down there I have my doubts as to whether or not the growers/pickers/shippers see any of that extra $3.50 per case.

    I can't get on board with treating sex-reassignment surgery like a medical issue and not plastic surgery. In a world where many people have to pay for gastric bypass out of pocket, I can't see justifying mandating that insurance companies or the government should have to foot the bill. It's getting awfully close to justifying kids trying to force their parents to pay for the surgery.

    Works fine for me. Most insurance carriers cover gastric bypass for the morbidly obese. As does Medicare.

    Feel free to back your drivel at any time to change it from being more than drivel.

    What is with board conservatives expecting other people to make their arguments for them? Was your gastric bypass rejected?

    So you admit that some insurers don't cover the procedure, leaving their many customers to pay for the procedure out of pocket, but you don't think that meets the standards for what I said?

    According to this Web site: http://nofusa.org/news/health-insura...ity-treatment/

    23/50 states mandate that insurers cover gastric bypasses
    14/50 states don't, but they mandate that insurers cover at least counseling
    13/50 have no mandates of coverate

    So as far as government intervention, that's not happening to the level you seem to think. , even Obamacare doesn't mandate coverage.

    Nearly two-thirds of health plans sponsored by employers don't cover weight loss surgery, which can cost between $15,000 and $25,000. Those that do often mandate that patients meet a number of requirements, including special diets and psychological evaluations, before they can get the procedure covered.

    And early signs indicate many of the same challenges seen in the private market have carried over to the new, state-run insurance exchanges that are part of the health care overhaul: Only 24 states require insurers to cover weight loss surgery for patients. And when the procedure is covered, many plans require patients to pay up to 50% of the cost out of pocket.

    But that article is from early 2014, so I think the numbers have shrunk. A 15-minute Google search can't find anything besides "most" or "many" as far as current numbers.

    We're in a weird middle area as a society where gender matters less and less but people still feel the need to alter their iden y to fit into a certain gender. I don't really know what happens next.

    What a strange world.

    Insurance carriers will pay for gastric bypass and even some procedures that are wholly cosmetic, but scream and yell if parents of hearing impaired children request that their policies cover things like hearing aids.

    Digression concluded.

    Yeah, I don't get all of it either, but I get the gastric bypass thing if someone is near death obese.

    K, so the term "many" in "many can't get insurance for gastric bypass" is your own subjective claim pulled from your ass.

    "Many" is whatever you want it to be.

    Like I said: drivel.

    ..and just because there's no government mandate in some states doesn't mean the insurance won't cover it in those states.

    But feel free to provide the name of the company that doesn't and I'll write them a letter demanding they provide coverage for you.
