It would seem a solution to healthcare has been found.
It doesn’t get more American than solving healthcare with gun violence.
i’m saving this GIF
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.

You really wish you could claim that shit? 🤨
Look, okay, we need some sort of identity. This is how people become American gun nuts in the first place, is searching for an identity. If modern American identity is going to become “yeah we were getting fucked over by corporate leeches so I shot one of em in the face” - I mean, it’s not my first choice, but I can think of worse things.
Think bigger 🙌
Solidarity against oligarchs like that would be pretty massive. You have no idea the stone wall we would become. Try to move us, we are the mountain.
Huh? I’m not sure what you’re saying, sorry. I’d like to understand though. I’m just too knackered because I’ve been alone with the kids all day and speed cubing all night. 💩🧠💩 What do you mean, with more words please? 😂🙏😭
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.
“actual medical conditions” I see you
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.
I won’t offer my personal opinion as I’m not trans and it isn’t really my place to weigh in but there is an ongoing discussion in the trans community for/against the medicalization of trans identities. Philosophy Tube made a great video that touches on it a while ago
Yeah, good point.
If I recall correctly, some companies can also add additional benefits that are paid for by the employer but administered through the insurance company. I don’t know if that might be what happened here.

$800 out of pocket for a three month supply
My brother in Christ, where the FUCK are you buying your testosterone that it’s $270/mo. without insurance? When I look on GoodRX right now, the average price for a 10ml vial of 200mg/ml testosterone cypionate is about $50. Assuming that you need about 200mg EW, that’s a 2.5 month supply right there. Even if you follow the recommended guidelines and discard the unused contents of the vial at the end of every month and buy a new vial, that’s $150 for a full three months.
