Don't forget the people who don't have insurance and are too poor to pay for the treatment, those suckers.

Don't forget the people who don't have insurance and are too poor to pay for the treatment, those suckers.
- trollbridge 2y agoIf someone is low income and doesn’t have insurance, they should apply for state Medicaid or other assistance programs. These programs exist and are very helpful.
- AngryData 2y agoWhile yes they should, that is still going to be minimal coverage that doesn't cover tons of stuff, especially something like voluntary uterus transplant.
- trollbridge 2y agoIt varies by state, but in some Medicaid is some of the best coverage you can get. (I have a personal mission to dispel the myth that poor Americans can't access health care, because often they can - and spreading the idea they can't leads to adverse health outcomes.) Specifically, patients aren't ever charged for anything. Uterus transplants are still experimental. The only ones I could find in the U.S. are in clinical trials and are being paid for by the institution to people accepted into the program, such as the one at John Hopkins. There are not gynecologists (yet) charging $200,000 for uterus transplants in America.
