Matt Walsh made some big news this week when he published video of a zoom call between his producer (undercover) and a transgender health care provider. The producer was able to to easily get written material that would satisfy insurance companies. The provider was using templates and just plugging in a few specifics, for each different patient. It took 22 minutes. Why so fast? For the money.

Here’s the article from Daily Wire:

Some of the nation’s largest transgender “health care” providers are rubber-stamping approvals for life-altering sex-change procedures — and even falsely representing health diagnoses of patients — so insurance companies will cover the medical expenses, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh revealed in a tweet thread Wednesday.

In an undercover investigation, Walsh and his team discovered how easy it is to get approved for sex-change surgery when one of the host’s producers got a thumbs up for an orchiectomy — a procedure to remove testicles — after just a 22-minute virtual appointment with Plume, the largest transgender health care provider in the U.S.

Walsh’s producer Gregg Re got scheduled for a video call with Plume after providing a fake name on an intake form. Re made it clear that he had not been experiencing gender dysphoria for six months or more, he mispronounced the name of the surgery he wanted, and he said he didn’t know what effect the surgery would have on him. Yet, Plume’s nurse practitioner told Re “she wanted to write the most ‘solid’ letter possible to justify surgery,” Walsh explained.

Why? For the money:

Walsh said that in a text message to Re, Plume explained that the letters of recommendation are sent using a template based on standards provided by the radical World Professional Association for Transgender Health, also known as WPATH. Plume sells letters of recommendation for $150 to those seeking transgender surgeries.

Just get the money from the insurance companies:

Folx, another popular transgender telehealth service, also approves patients for sex-change procedures even if they are not diagnosed with “gender dysphoria,” according to Walsh.

“Folx, which provides letters authorizing surgeries for a nominal fee, goes on to admit that ‘it’s quite possible’ patients will receive a letter indicating a gender dysphoria diagnosis, even though they ‘really do not have dysphoria,’” Walsh noted. “We reached out to Folx about this. A staff member confirmed that a ‘diagnosis’ of gender dysphoria — with the word ‘diagnosis’ in scare quotes — is a ‘requirement’ for insurance purposes, even if it ‘doesn’t apply.’”

It’s very interesting to think about what the insurance companies will do about this, now that they understand what’s going on. But one thing is for sure – the attorneys general of several states are furious and looking to investigate and prosecute.

Many Americans today don’t really understand how all this spending of money, shifting of responsibility, recklessness, etc. will affect them. They think “don’t judge” and “be nice”. But the truth is that insurance companies only have a certain amount of money. Premiums are collected from policyholders and then used to pay out claims. If insurance companies are paying out claims for frivolous elective surgeries, then they can’t also pay out claims for other things, like broken legs and pregnancies and cancer treatment. The more society becomes reckless, the more money is taken away from the responsible people, to pay for the craziness of the irresponsible people. So all this “tolerance” will eventually hurt you. Why is health care so expensive? Partly because crazy behavior is now covered.
