The judge overseeing the case against the Defense Department’s firing of transgender service members revealed that the military spends 8 times more on erectile dysfunction medication than on gender affirming care.
While discussing military spending with the Defense Department (DoD) attorney for the ongoing Talbott v Trump case, Judge Ana Reyes said the DoD spends approximately $5.2 million annually on medical care for service members with gender dysphoria.
Comparatively, the DoD spends $42 million a year on medication for service members with erectile dysfunction.
The US District Judge asked: “It’s not even a rounding error, right?”
I don’t think the taxpayers should subsidize male erections… call me crazy.
Our taxes should be used to pay for universal health care that covers ALL medical issues, including erectile distribution, gender affirming care, abortions, IVF, etc.
Everything. For everyone.
that I’m fine with, I just don’t like the idea of curving out niches for certain groups versus universal health care
