Breast Cancer Victim Denied Medicaid Because He's a Man

[Arikiel]

wtf? This is blatant discrimination! Aren't we all supposed to all be treated equally regardless of gender?

[seonidh]

in a word sexual discrimination

[WildwoodClaire1]

Nauseating example of bureaucrazy.

[Zaunstar]

That's awful. theamazingatheist also talked about this. Very sad. I'm no doctor, not even a doctor on youtube, but I know that men can also get breast cancer.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Zaunstar if memory serves me right 1 out of every 10 people diagnosed with breast cancer are men.

[Zaunstar]

@irishgodfatherchris Yes, I almost said that same thing, but wasn't sure.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Zaunstar here in Australia they're entitled to healthcare anyway regardless of socio-economic background, everyone has health insurance, the public sector is massive here, here a trip to the hospital and the local GP are covered, some specialists however are not and that's where private health insurance comes in

[Tommyr]

The U.S. health care system AND government is such a complete joke. They couldn't care less about anyone, even people that are sure to die without care. Ahhh the "good 'ol U.S.A." huh folks?

[1Mackinley]

@Tommyr America is like a corporation--the individuals within the body care very much, but the body itself is a senseless mass of red tape concerned only with the bottom line. It's a wonderful, rewarding place to live, but it gets very very frustrating.

[Quintinohthree]

Isn't discrimination based on sex unconstitutional? Just saying.

[irishgodfatherchris]

@Quintinohthree so is freedom of association but that didn't stop the banning of the Communist Party
