What happened to women's liberation movement, why won't my HMO cover my prostate exam yet they will cover men?

Question

I am outraged!!! *!*#%^!!!**#!

Answer 1

What is HMO, some sort of health insurance? 'yet they will cover men' - are you a woman? If so, are you saying you have a prostate (a male organ)?

Anyhow, don't be too outraged. If I was having a prostate exam (which will never happen), I'd be more worried about what that would entail. Are you talking about the physical, digital sort of prostate examination?

Either way, good luck!

Answer 2

Are you the first woman in history with a prostate?

Answer 3

Pfft.  Tell me about it.  $320.00 for 20 hits of Cialis which my insurance won't pay for, and I got pretty decent insurance, the same insurance that pays for my wife's cornucopia of female pills.  Mumble grumble.  And listen, dearie, just because you had a s*x change doesn't mean you don't have a prostate. Or does it? Hmmmm, now you got me wondering.

Answer 4

Would you kindly disambiguate the question?

(Thought police/community moderators please do not misconstrue this as chatter, as I'm attempting to help another human being)

Answer 5

And I'M confused.

Answer 6

I have the same problem when I go to the OB/GYN.

I am also outraged.

Answer 7

I'm not going to insult you for having asked this question because some women are not familiar with the prostate gland.  Why that is remains a mystery.

In answer to your question, women do not have prostates; so logically, your HMO will not cover prostate exams if you're a female because you don't -- or shouldn't if you are a normal female -- have one.  That would be like the HMO providing men with coverage for cervical or ovarian exams when males have neither a cervix or ovaries.  If you are a transgendered female, that may be another thing.  You may have to inform your health care provider that you are a male biologically who had a s*x change to become a female and may, therefore, need to have your prostate examined.  

It seems your outrage is based on ignorance and nitpicking.  In nitpicking, I mean trying to make a s*x discrimination issue out of everything.  Men and women ARE biologically different, so there will be some differences in health coverage.  I don't mean to offend you; but lighten up.  This issue is not that serious.

Answer 8

r****d! HAHA!
