::Ok, let me get this correct: 40+ million Americans do not access to quality health care; meantime, medical doctors are taking men and surgically, supposedly, turning them in women, and vice versa. And this is called "therapy", and "medical treatment," etc.

::This begs a question: if these so-called "healthcare professionals" were not spending their time doing "boob jobs" (as they are called in the trade), and actually were providing "healthcare," would there be actually be a "healthcare crisis"? [[User:RobS|Rob Smith]] 19:16, 15 August 2007 (EDT)

::First, capitalist economy and capitalist access to healthcare. If you can pay for it, you get it. The highest quality health care in the world is located in Cuba, a communist state (unlike the former USSR spending all their money on Military, Cuba has primarily spent it on the medical field.) If you have a suggestion of how to provide everyone healthcare without telling the doctors that they have to do it... I'm all ears. If a doctor can get rich doing it, they likely will.
::Therapy consists of sitting down and talking to a therapist, usually required to have at least an M.D. in Psychology, or Psychiatry. I do not think anyone would disagree that a disorder that causes a close to 50% success rate of suicides among those patients needs to be handled by talking to a Psychologist/Psychiatrist.
::"Medical treatment" is provided only when absolutely necessary. It's ensured that the issue is not cosmetic, nor sexually motivated, but rather is fundamental to their identity as its causing them great distress. One can count the number of doctors performing Sexual Reassignment Surgery on one hand. I do not think they could take care of the 40+ million without healthcare. The number of doctors performing breast augmentation on otherwise healthy non-transsexual women is enormous... I think they could take care of the 40+ million without healthcare. --[[User:Puellanivis|Puellanivis]] 19:29, 15 August 2007 (EDT)
