Right on H!
A guy doesn't just wake up one day and think "hmm, I don't really like my penis... I think I'm going to go to the doctor and get it removed." It's a very BIG decision. And, unfortunately, money is a huge factor in said big decision. Yeah this should be paid for by the state. We have this technology, let's use it for good rather than profit.
And no Minnesota care is not 'socialized'. I'm from Minnesota as well, and as a matter of fact, I'm applying for Minnesota care for my father because he's poor and has a mountain of hospital bills. If it weren't for such programs like Minnesota care, he would be out on his own, with a rotting leg, and a seizure disorder. But you're right, he should be subjected to the whims of our private for profit health care system, where he would have had to pay in excess of a hundred thousand dollars in hospital bills (I'm in control of his finances, and I'm not exaggerating) out of his own pocket. And speaking of which, my mother and father recently divorced. My father was entitled to a settlement in this case, and because you have to be poor to be on Minnesota care, it's up in the air about whether or not he's going to be able to keep the money for the settlement, that he was going to spend on a new house.
That is not socialized medicine. |
