AND YET!
Pope Leo is letting American bishops entirely ban trans healthcare for both minors and adults in all Catholic-owned hospitals and clinics, and stop coverage for trans healthcare through Catholic-affiliated health insurance plans!!
People are having surgeries, for which they were on waitlists for years, suddenly cancelled. Hormones no longer covered, their clinicians no longer able to prescribe them. Considering in some states Catholic-owned healthcare organizations make up to a third of the market, as it were, this is a HUGE issue.
Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawl
This has been happening since November of last year, when this vote took place, but no one is talking about it. The rehabilitation of the image of the papacy through Pope Leo is killing me, it’s still the goddamn Catholic Church. You do not gotta hand it to them.
Sheesh, "religion which views gender transition as *at very best* extremely morally problematic doesn't want to pay for gender transition?"
You can't just make any random thing you want mandatory by calling it "healthcare".
Idk man maybe the health care system should pay for my Looksmaxxing procedures, ever think of that???
I'm generally not in favor of equating gender transition to, like *libertarian-elective* procedures, but yikes people are really eager to slip things into Generally Good Category and call it logic.
Yeah a bit glib on my part. Mostly just came up with something they probably wouldn’t support
