Americans are tired of seeing medication they need denied by insurance but watching transgender people get hundreds of thousands of dollars in nonessential surgeries covered for free by our tax dollars “I think that the entire concept of getting hundreds of thousands of dollars of cosmetic surgery, like non-essential surgery, covered by insurance, including universal American health insurance, is unfair. There is one prescription that I need that's a medical necessity that insurance won't even cover. For an actual disorder that I have with my body.” American woman also have a huge problem with gender affirming care being covered for transgender people but not biological women “I also think that gender-affirming care should be covered for women if it's going to be covered for transgender people. For example, if you're a woman and you feel like your body is too masculine, then you should also be able to get facial feminization surgeries or a breast augmentation, because that also might be affecting you mentally. Like, if you have a completely flat chest as a woman and you're shaped like a box, like I was when I was 18, I feel like it would be fair for you to, I don't know, get these surgeries” She’s right, transgenders get these surgeries 100% for free 15 states explicitly cover transgender breast augmentation, implants, under Medicaid But it gets worse Chest and genital procedures are covered more often than facial or other surgeries for transgenders but all are covered 27 states and DC have Medicaid policies that explicitly or protectively cover some gender-affirming care including surgeries We are paying for all of this

This should infuriate every American Illinois State Senator Dave Syverson exposes the healthcare being given to illegals in Illinois is “BETTER than citizens on Medicaid” Illegals are also getting free housing, daycare, food and cash payments “This is 100% paid for by state taxpayers. The program of health care that they get is actually better than those of our own residents that are on Medicaid. So our low income struggling families in Illinois that are on Medicaid, they do not get as good of services as these non-citizens are getting that are coming into Illinois” “In addition to the over $1 billion cost of health care, we're also providing free daycare for their children, including free housing, food subsidies, cash subsidies. So the total cost of this program is in the billions of dollars”

Senate Hearing confirms California Democrats force American taxpayers to pay for “Tribal Prayers” Senator John Kennedy “California state government, they see this as free money — for example, Medicaid in California will pay a provider to provide tribal prayers” “Yes, that California will actually pay a healthcare provider. I didn't know this was a medical expertise to pay for exorcisms” As crazy as this sounds, I fact checked it and he’s right. It’s true California’s Medi-Cal does reimburse Native American and Indigenous healing practices Services by Traditional Healers now paid for by American taxpayers include ceremonies, rituals, prayers, herbal remedies, music therapy, drumming, songs, dancing and other spiritual interventions Again, we are now paying for this It is not “free money,” this is why our taxes are so insane

Throwback to 2020 when Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said the state will require people who attended in-person Easter Sunday church services to quarantine for 14 days. Andy Beshear wants to be your next president, and if he ever gets the chance, he'll stomp all over Christian values and tell you it makes him a better Christian to do it. He also vetoed multiple bills regarding gender-affirming care and LGBTQ+ rights during his administration including: Senate Bill 83 (2002) - A bill that banned transgender girls and women from participating in school sports matching their gender identity. This veto was also overridden. Senate Bill 150 (2023)- A bill banning gender-affirming medical care for minors, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. The bill allowed teachers to refuse to use a student's preferred pronouns, restricted bathroom use based on birth sex, and required parental notification for school lessons on sexuality. House Bill 495 (2025) - A bill to prohibit Kentucky Medicaid funds from paying for gender-affirming care (hormones or surgery) for transgender adults. Everyone needs to know just how bad Andy Beshear is. He will be one of the Left's favorites in 2028, and we've got to get the word out early and often.

First laser hair removal appointment today 🥳 I spent 7 years on testosterone. Testosterone gave me facial hair. A full beard. Now I’m sitting here covered in prescription numbing cream waiting for a laser to start the removal process. My lips are completely numb and I can’t stop laughing at how ridiculous this feels 😂 Detransition isn’t an ideology. It’s real life. None of this is covered by insurance. Not a single aspect of detransition care is currently covered. However, “trans women” (men) get boob jobs & laser hair removal covered by insurance (including Medicare and Medicaid) under the rubric of “gender affirming care.” Enough is enough.

Democrats in Minnesota are having taxpayers pay for - Boob jobs for men who want to be women - Voice lessons for trans men who want to sound more like women - Makeup for men - and much more This is happening in the Department of Corrections ordered by Tim Walz “You worked for the DOC for nearly two decades. Was this happening before Governor Tim Walz took office?” “One day they could be a woman, the next day they could be a guy. And we had to bow down and cater to that like we were in a Shakespeare play.” “Corrections officers are talking about how Minnesota taxpayers are paying for this insanity in more ways than one, footing the bill for boob jobs, voice lessons for men who wanna sound more like women, even makeup for men. The list I know is much longer”

American Surgeon talking about US Health Insurance Companies denying coverage for patients in extreme need “Today, this patient was actually denied surgery initially, and he has spinal cord compression. He has spinal nerve compression, he has severe weakness, and he has a collapsed neck. So these are the challenges that we have every day. So to get patients to the OR takes a lot of people.” He then talks about how many people it actually takes just to overcome insurance company denies and get their patients care, “We battle this all the time.” “A patient who has a clear indication for surgery denied by the insurance company, - First they denied the surgery altogether - Then they said that I couldn't use cages to support the spine - Then they said I could do a three level fusion without a plate - Then they said the patient had to go home on the same day of surgery, which I think is, is actually dangerous” This video is crazy, the insurance company actually wants to leave patients in extremely dangerous situations even after surgery

Illinois own state Senator confirms illegals were provided health insurance Illinois Democrats all said this wasn’t happening 🚨 Illinois Democrats even passed a law specifically to give illegals healthcare, with complete “Total coverage” for free “The Democratic majority and the governor put into place a law that said we were going to provide free health care for undocumented citizens from age 42 on up that we were going to provide them free health care - At the time they said they anticipated about 10,000 residents would take advantage of this program - By the beginning of this year, the state said, well, we're wrong. That number is about 52,000 - Now this week, the state came out and said, we're wrong again. That number is now 120,000 undocumented are going to be receiving free health care at a cost of over $1.4 billion “Here in Illinois, we are now adding thousands a month as you have unhealthy and sick undocumented citizens from around the country, from frankly around the world that are coming to Illinois because the fact we're the only state that covers these individuals for total health care”

A woman blamed the U.S. healthcare system… then Caleb Hammer asked one question. Caleb Hammer: “What health insurance do you have right now?” Girlfriend: “None.” Caleb Hammer: “That’s your fault. The Affordable Care Act is there for you. Healthcare. gov is there for you to enroll in things that are completely subsidized.” Boyfriend: “I’ve been trying to get you to apply to stuff.” Caleb Hammer: “This sounds like a you problem.” Caleb Hammer: “Don’t get me wrong, health insurance in this country is ridiculously expensive. You’re not going to get me defending it by any means.” Caleb Hammer: “But when you take the stance of, ‘It’s bad,’ and I’ve done nothing… what am I going to say?” Girlfriend: “Being a woman in the United States with a chronic health condition, you’re more likely to go undiagnosed for 10-plus years.” Caleb Hammer: “Girl, you haven’t signed up for health insurance to go to the doctor when you get it for free.” Girlfriend: “I mean, even when I’ve had health insurance…” Caleb Hammer: “You’re getting me to defend a system that’s certainly broken because you literally haven’t taken five minutes to go online and sign up for something that I pay taxes for.” Caleb Hammer: “I don’t think it’s because you’re a woman. I think it’s because you haven’t gone.”

Over 8.5 million in noncitizens births was paid by taxpayers In 2019 Governor Janet Mills signed legislation expanding Medicaid to low income able-bodied childless adults. This expansion meant over 100,000 new people would now get free healthcare Democrats bankrupted the birth centers and hospitals with free coverage to able-bodied childless adults and noncitizens “40% of pregnancies in Maine are on Medicaid. 40%” And of course, they’re blaming Donald Trump

Today I’m sharing an update about a patient many of you remember, the woman who drove hours across Texas after her radiated implants became infected and no one near her would take her insurance. We removed her infected implants to protect her health. It was urgent. It was necessary. It was absolutely medically indicated. And yet… her insurance company sent her a letter denying the surgery, claiming it was not medically necessary. This is the reality too many women face after breast cancer: fighting infections, managing complications, and then having to battle an insurance company that should be advocating for their care. When insurers decide they know better than the surgeon at the bedside and the patient in pain, something is profoundly broken. To my patient: thank you for your strength and for trusting me. To everyone watching: we’re going to keep pushing for a system that listens to doctors and protects patients.

Americans are realizing Dental Insurance is also a scam This American has been paying his dental insurance. He needed 2 teeth worked on, a crown and implant. Both were denied He paid out of pocket. He did the math and found what he’s paid out of pocket for all his dental work was only 1/3 of the price with cash-pay than how much he’s spent paying his monthly premiums “I done the math — I figured up my monthly payment at the end of the year for paying for my dental insurance, I could have paid for those things out of pocket and paid less than what I paid into my insurance” “Look, I'm starting to really get pissed off about this game of insurance. It's a scam from the get-go. It's an absolute Ponzi scheme, and these fricking insurance companies, guess who owns them all? BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard” He’s right, BlackRock, Vanguard and State are the largest institutional shareholders in most major US health insurance companies He says he had to pay over $4,000 out of pocket for his dental implant. His crown was over $2,200 out of pocket. All while paying monthly health insurance…. This is a scam Having a big hole in your mouth where a tooth uses to be is not “cosmetic” in American society. It’s a necessity to get fixed

My last case of 2025 and my first case of 2026 tell you everything you need to know about our healthcare system. Last week, I was scheduled to do a DIEP flap for a patient who had been waiting a long time. We had asked her insurance company if we could do the surgery in network at @Redbudsurgerycenter, where we have everything needed to safely and efficiently take care of her. They hadn’t approved that, so the surgery had to be scheduled at an older hospital in town. When we arrived, the hospital was having HVAC issues. The humidity levels were not safe for surgery. We waited for hours, and ultimately the case had to be canceled. It wasn’t just her surgery. Multiple surgeries were canceled that day because operating under those conditions would have been a fire risk. We weren’t able to reschedule her surgery before the end of the year, which means her deductible resets. I could have safely done her surgery at Redbud that day but insurance rules wouldn’t allow it. This is what closed networks and rigid systems look like in real life. Now here’s the contrast. The first case I’m doing in 2026 is also a woman who needs breast reconstruction with DIEP flaps. This time, instead of traditional insurance, her employer uses a third party administrator. They came to me directly and asked what I would charge if they paid fairly and transparently. On Monday, we’re doing her bilateral DIEP flap at @Redbudsurgerycenter. I can control the environment, the costs, and the care. It’s better for the patient and significantly less expensive for the employer. This is called Direct Specialty Care. It’s not direct primary care. It’s specialty care delivered without unnecessary barriers. It’s happening. We’re starting the year this way. And I’m going to keep pushing the boundaries and keeping you informed.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack says Republicans sold us out again Today they passed the Senate’s appropriations package without the SAVE Act - Republicans didn’t include the SAVE Act - Instead they added funding for DEI, gender mutilation surgeries on children and NGOs Programs added to the funding bill include - Funding for facilities like Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems (pediatric gender clinic providing hormones for gender-diverse children). - ChristianaCare Health Services (late-term abortions, but tied to broader reproductive/gender care criticism) - Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago (transgender treatments) - Rady Children’s Hospital (pediatric gender-affirming care, including referrals for surgeries). Conservative amendments (e.g., by Rep. Ralph Norman) sought to strike these as funding “transgender surgeries” or “sex-rejecting hormones for children.” - DEI programs - Additional NGO funding “This entire Appropriations package is riddled with billions of dollars of earmarks for woke, progressive programs that Doge rooted out and that are fundamentally against what we've been talking about. It's got gender mutilation, gender ideology, DEI, NGO funding, all this stuff. And to add final insult to injury, nearly half of the programs that are being appropriated have not received an authorization from Congress or their authorizations expired over a decade ago”

This is yet another instance of private health insurers going back on their commitments. Many middle-class citizens are increasingly turning to private health insurance providers as a critical lifeline for themselves and their families. These plans boast of a robust coverage and hassle-free claims, while charging customers exorbitant premiums. But when insurers fail to honour genuine claims, it leaves citizens vulnerable and puts a Question mark on the safety net of health insurance. As per information given by the IBAI (Insurance Brokers Association of India), the best performer in the Claims Paid Ratio (The total number of claims paid divided by the total number of Claims available for processing) was New India (Public Sector General Insurers) with 95.04%, followed by Aditya Birla Health (Standalone Health Insurer) at 94.52%. Other Large General Insurers such as IFFCO Tokio, Bajaj Allianz, SBI General have claims paid ratio of 91.70%, 90.29% and 88.86%. Other Standalone Health Insurers such as Niva Bupa, Manipal Cigna and Care Health have around 88% claims paid ratio. However, if one takes a look at the Claims Paid Ratio on the Amount of Claims (The Total amount of Claims paid divided by the Total amount of Claims available for processing), New India, Oriental Insurance, National Insurance - all public sector - have impressive ratio of 98.74%, 97.35% and 87.95%. The same for Standalone health insurers Aditya Birla Health, Niva Bupa, Manipal Cigna, Care Health and Star Health are all less than 71%. Similarly, the Health Claims Paid Ratio based on the amount for Small Private Sector General Insurers such as Liberty General, Acko, Zurich Kotak & Royal Sundaram reflect poorly. This is not to target anyone, but highlighting the need for better regulation and grievance redressal for the customers. After all, in the 2022-23 period, the health insurance sector issued 2.26 crore health insurance policies. And these policies provide coverage to an impressive 55 crore individuals. But not even one private insurance provider reported payment of more than 90% of the amount claimed and only 3 paid more than 80% of the amount claimed in 2022-23. During a Zero Hour discussion on December 4, 2024, I had raised the need for fair claim settlements for the citizens of the country relying on health insurance. I once again urge IRDAI to look into this issue and rein in such unethical practices. Ministry of Finance Ministry of Health

🚨 DISTURBING KIDNAPPING CASE IN UTAH: A transgender woman (biological father) and her partner are accused of kidnapping their 10-year-old child, taking the boy on what was supposed to be a “camping trip,” then smuggling him across the Canadian border, flying through Mexico to Cuba for gender reassignment surgery. All without the biological mother's knowledge. The DOJ had to send a government plane to rescue the child and bring him back to the U.S. Court docs reveal notes about sending $10,000 for “gender affirming medical care” and reports the child was being pushed to transition since age 5. This is the radical gender ideology endgame: parents kidnapping their own kids to mutilate them abroad. Absolutely sick. These people belong in prison for LIFE!
