    Public Healthcare shouldn’t exist, let alone should it cover entirely optional procedures for illegals

        Republicanism is about hurting the, “right people.” In this case, trans people and the non-wealthy infirmed. Who cares if it costs us more for worse outcomes for everyone?

          Why transpeople specifically, and not just non-wealthy people in general?

          (A complete side thing, isn’t ‘infirmed’ an old time slur for disabled people?)

            Why transpeople specifically

            There is a major push on the right to deny trans people rights and medical care. This article was intended to create outrage among them, as it relates to two groups who are popular to vilify: trans people and illegal immigrants, with an implication of wasteful spending as well. Rather than focusing on the benefits of public health care for most people, it singles out minority groups who the author implies are unworthy of receiving it.

            isn’t ‘infirmed’ an old time slur for disabled people?

            My understanding was that infirmed just means people who are ill, however looking it up just now it evidently has implications of being feeble/weak/elderly that I did not intend.

              Trans people have the same rights as everyone else, but I understand that the perception is different. And for the record, illegal immigrants are villians.

              As for infirmed, yeah, Ive been caught out a couple times too, it happens. No single person can know everything.
