Obamacare insanity: so-called 'tax' covers pap smears and mammograms for transgender men
by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) In Brave New America, simply acknowledging the historical value of a flag that has always stood for states' rights can earn you the scarlet letter title of "racist." If you're an American parent, you also stand to be accused of child abuse if you refuse to inject your kids with vaccinations laced with animal DNA, toxic heavy metals, and live viruses. However, if you are a woman who decided you weren't happy with your natural sex assignment and transformed yourself into a "man," American taxpayers will now have to fund your "right" to undergo free pap smears and mammograms as part of the Obamacare "tax."
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced that Obamacare health insurance plans will now be required to provide co-pay-free pap smears and mammograms to "transgender men," which the federal Office of Personnel Management defines as "a person assigned the female sex at birth but who identifies as male." This includes natural-born women who are in the process of converting their bodies into "men" but who might still have certain female sex organs that require "preventive" health services.
The Frequently Asked Questions section of the latest HHS Obamacare guidelines clearly state that health insurance plans and issuers may not limit "sex-specific recommended preventive services based on an individual's sex assigned at birth, gender identity or recorded gender." This means that mentally afflicted individuals like Bruce Jenner, a natural-born male who now identifies as a female and goes by the name of Caitlyn, can simply waltz into a doctor's office and demand to have his fake vagina examined, all on the taxpayers' dime.
"Where an attending provider determines that a recommended preventive service is medically appropriate for the individual -- such as, for example, providing a mammogram or pap smear for a transgender man who has residual breast tissue or an intact cervix ... the plan or issuer must provide coverage for the recommended preventive service, without cost sharing, regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, or gender of the individual otherwise recorded by the plan or issuer."
Transgendered individuals may also be furnished with free contraceptives, including abortion-inducing drugs
The same FAQ section goes on to discuss recommendations for free contraceptives, including abortion-inducing drugs and IUD devices that block pregnancy, emphasizing that these should be provided for "all women of reproductive capacity." This would appear to include all transgendered individuals who identify as women, were born as women, or simply want access to contraceptives made for women.
CNS News reports that it tried to contact HHS by email to inquire about whether these contraceptives would be handed out for free to transgendered individuals as well, but the agency has yet to respond. Meanwhile, some 105 lawsuits have been filed against the federal government, according to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, challenging free preventive services like birth control that violate taxpayers' right to refuse paying for coverage that violates their religious beliefs.
As all of this is taking place, the federal occupiers are busy erasing America's national sovereignty through fast-track trade deals like TPA and TPP while also deliberately stoking the flames of a possible Civil War II with endless chatter about the Confederate battle flag, which is being removed from its long-time memorial on the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol.
The symbolism behind this churlish campaign to eliminate all traces of the Confederate battle flag's historical significance from the national consciousness couldn't be any clearer, especially as those pulling the strings systematically hammer the final nails into the coffin of the United States at the very same time: freedom and liberty are officially dead.
