Gender confused to get free dopey changey sex changes in San Francisco

Like these people deserve any assistance in switching from a penis to a vagina or the other way around? Why should the taxpayers of even a screwed up, perverted place like San Francisco have to foot the bill to placate these people and try to help them unravel their sexuality?

Only in California, at least for now until this becomes a covered procedure under Obamacare.

If the transgendered, sexual confused want to go from man to women or the other way, let them pay for this. This IS NOT like some serious disease like cancer, MS, ALS. This is a choice to have this perverted procedure done. It is called ELECTIVE surgery.

If I have offended anyone, too bad I do I do not care. This is just plain 100% wrong. 
San Francisco deserves what it gets and have fun paying for this and everything else.  I am sure federal funding will slide in here under the radar at some point. 

Maybe Obama and Moochelle will be the first to be gender altered at the taxpayers expense in San Francisco? PatriotUSA

San Francisco To Cover Gender Reassignment Surgeries For The Uninsured

In a move that will make San Francisco the first city in the U.S. to provide and cover the cost of sex reassignment surgeries, the city's Health Commission voted Tuesday to remove mastectomies, genital reconstruction and other surgeries recommended for transgender people from the list of procedures specifically excluded from the city's Healthy San Francisco universal health care plan.

Healthy S.F., implemented five years ago by Mayor Gavin Newsom, currently covers treatments such as hormone therapy, counseling and routine health services for the city's transgendered residents, but does not cover surgical procedures recommended for patients whose physical appearance is at odds with their gender identities. Following recommendations from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the locally based Transgender Law Center, the commission agreed to create a new program that will cover all the parts of transgender health. The city of San Francisco currently covers the cost of reassignment surgeries for government employees, but the local community felt their exclusion from HealthySF was a discriminatory.

At the moment, the vote is mostly a symbolic gesture. According to the AP, the city doesn't currently have the necessary expertise or capacity to provide such procedures through city clinics or the public hospital. As Public Health Director Barbara Garcia explained, the program should be running by the end of next year once her department determines how much the program will cost and who will perform the surgeries.

"Sex reassignment surgery is not the end all. It's one service that some transgender people want and some don't," Garcia explained. "We can probably manage this over the next three years without much of a budget increase because we already have these (other) services covered."
