A Preview of Obamacare

On display in Massachusetts is the latest example of what we can expect when the government takeover of healthcare is complete.  A prisoner serving life in prison for killing and nearly decapitating his wife has sued the state and *won* the right to have a sex change operation.  (Article)  For years, we've already been footing the bill for Michelle Kosilek's hormone therapy, etc, but apparently it's cruel and unusual punishment for her to be trapped in a man's body.

We can't afford this crap.  And even if we could, why would we even entertain such nonsense.  I could blow my money in Vegas and spend it more wisely than the government.  Now we have a precedent to deal with where transgender prisoners may be entitled to sex change therapy and ultimately operations.  There are 600 of them according to Michelle's thank-you note to the judge!  So why in the world would Obamacare bureaucrats deny the same treatments for anyone with Obamacare?  They wouldn't.  This is the tip of the iceberg of how Obamacare would go way past what we can afford and what's reasonable.  The government has proven itself unworthy to entrust with so many of our tax dollars.  Aren't there more important things to do than castrate Michelle Kosilek?  We need to massively shrink the scope of our government and focus it on our economic well-being.  There are better and easier ways than Obamacare to expand healthcare access and lower costs.  Here's my favorite, for what it's worth.
