"The so-called "treatment" that Michelle has been receiving now for over five years includes laser hair removal, hormone treatments, and psychotherapy- all at Massachusetts' taxpayers' expense.

I'm not sure the government should have put down money for the hair removal, but considering the government has to provide medical treatment, and given this person meets the medical criteria, it seems that the operation needs to happen.

But certainly if prisoners get free medical coverage, it sort of speaks to the idea that perhaps we should offer more to law-abiders.

Damn right they should Kaelin, I'm so offended by this as my father use to be a Corrections Officer here at a local prison. I mean i'm glad she's getting medical treatment but if we on the outside have to pay for it, so should she(even if it's after she gets out, if eligible) >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
