Susan Donaldson James of ABC News reports on the letter Ms. Wagner received from the Oregon Health Plan in response to a $4000 a month drug her doctor prescribed after her lung cancer, long in remission, returned..

the insurance company refused to pay.

What the Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover, however, were drugs for a physician-assisted death. Those drugs would cost about $50.

Hmmmm, let’s do the math. Yep, a one time prescription of $50 sure is cheaper than $4000 a month for who knows how many months to keep a 64 year old woman alive. So the Oregon “Death Panel” graciously offered suicide pills. Or doctor assisted murder.

But Ms. Wagner had an understandably different reaction.

“It was horrible,” Wagner told ABCNews.com. “I got a letter in the mail that basically said if you want to take the pills, we will help you get that from the doctor and we will stand there and watch you die. But we won’t give you the medication to live.”

Ah, but Ms. Wagner wanted to live. And she didn’t care what the Oregon “Death Panel” – uhm, Oregon Health Plan decided. And her situation is not unique.

I understand that “he” used to be a “she,” which I understand how this individual got pregnant, but how did he get pregnant though? I’m a bit confused because “he” used to be a “she” so she must have kept her organs that she was born with so did “he” have sex with another man to get pregnant or did “he” do fertility an order to get pregnant? Please help me understand. Yes, I know that “he” used to be a “she,” but it’s so freaking weird when the story aired over the news saying, “In Bend, OR – there’s a man who’s convinced that he’s 5 months pregnant with a little girl.” Didn’t you?
