bighairymike: AMA suggests taxpayers should fund $100,000 to $300,000 Uterus Transplant surgeries.

No, it does not; you've been suckered by the Washington Examiner.

First, the article, which presented ethical arguments for a hypothetical health issue, was written by a university philosophy professor and a fourth-year medical student and included the clear disclaimer that the views expressed "are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the AMA." Second, it was published in the AMA Journal of Ethics, an editorially independent journal from the AMA. Third, had the Washington Examiner simply run its article past the AMA, it would have bee informed that the AMA did not endorse the procedure.

From the AMA:

Multiple media outlets have published inaccurate stories with inflammatory headlines about an AMA Journal of EthicsŪ article that explored ethical considerations for uterus transplantation in transgender individuals. These outlets falsely report that the journal article represents the views or policy of the AMA.

Here's a question for you: should insurance companies provide IVF and fertility preservation coverage?
