Taxpayers Will Pay for Sex-change Surgery for Minors in Vermont
The same state that nearly sent a man who says he’s a woman to the governor’s mansion has just upped the ante. Vermont’s health insurance managers will now require taxpayers, via Medicaid, to pay for “sex reassignment surgery” for minors.
So if a 10-year-old boy on Medicaid in the “Green Mountain State” says he is a girl trapped in a boy’s body, if he wants to have the reassignment surgery, and if his parents support having him mutilated, then Vermont will be there, scalpel in hand.
The new rule came down in May. Not only will minors be allowed to get the surgery (with parental consent), the Burlington Free Press reported June 12, but Medicaid — meaning taxpayers — will foot the bill.
