While serving as Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan demanded that Blue-Cross, Blue-Shield cover sex-change operations for the students. She believes that Americans have an "equal right" to be surgically operated on to change from a man to woman or vice versa; and that health insurance corporations have an obligation to cover the costs. Does Kagan believe that soldiers, presently in the line-of-duty, deserve this right, too; if she's nominated as the next Supreme Court Justice?

Congress.org reports that, "our breaking news report by Amy Contrada and Peter Labarba, just published (June 30) at MassResistance.org, contains links to 2006 and 2008 articles from the Harvard Crimson newspaper, proving Elena Kagan teamed up overseeing the administration team that forced Blue-Cross, Blue-Shield to provide sex-change operations as a paid benefit, including breast enhancement or breast-removal (but not yet genital mutilation) for students and faculty who suffer from 'gender identity disorder.' The partial sex-change operations must be fully covered by insurance premiums, as Kagan's administrators demanded they be funded as an "equal right."
