Lawsuit asks state to pay for inmate's sex-change operation- What do you think?

It's a difficult question.

I agree that many prisoners do in effect have better health care coverage than many working people not in prison, which I agree seems very unfair.

I think it depends on how the courts see being Transgender and if not paying for sex reassigment surgery is seen as cruel and usual....

I really don't know where I fall on the subject, but for me a murder change would be very different than a 3 strikes drug or burglary charge....but you can't provide medical care based on whar crime was committed?

Slippery slope.
Either way.
