Thank for standing up despite the cost to yourself.

You know, one thing that might discourage people is a policy of stopping people for speeding, and then just requiring them to do something time-wasting and annoying on the spot-- thus making speeding actually *slowing*.

I may depend where you are and how big an employer. Smaller employers get really terrible rates because of the small risk pool, and I'm in NJ where rates are atrocious, plus I'm in education/nonprofit.

And other taxes and costs could be lowered because govt & companies wouldn't be paying out absurd amounts for the employer share of employee insurance! Rule of thumb is that benefits mean each employee costs double their salary.

Am I ok with people not having access to most medications & treatments because they don't have thousands in cash to pay full price before they've met their (multiple thousand dollar deductible), and in many cases they still won't be able to afford 10%-30% copay *after* deductible?

* Yes, I know it's *probably* a lie that they won't cover the ER visit, but there's only so many hours in the year during the business day you can spend on the phone arguing with your insurance company before your bosses get annoyed, so you pick your battles.

Mind you, the insurance will then claim that despite your diagnosis of a broken arm, your diagnosis does not support the need to have had X-rays.

But if you, say, break your shoulder and don't go to the ER because your insurance claims they won't cover ER visits for anything less than life-threatening*, and you do have to go to an orthopedist, an "emergency" visit will be at least several days or more likely a week or more.

Every time I look at the whole family I think of Peter Dickinson's _King and Joker_ and _Skeleton-in-Waiting_ and what they said about the British concept of monarchy.

I really hope this young man was/is able to get followup care through GenderPlus as the legal case says he intends to do. It sounds like his transition is really going well for him!

Why is feed-ops reposting this? Should I delete it?

I mean, what we're looking at here is that if, in fact, the testosterone dose was too high, and there's no question that the medical evaluation was pretty light*, that can be laid squarely at the feet of the people who got gender treatment removed from the NHS, thus necessitating offshore treatment
