Wrong. The law does not say that, and explicitly says the opposite. What the law says is that they can not be forced to CHOP OFF A DICK OR TRANSFORM A VA-GINA INTO A PE-NIS if it violates their religious beliefs. Sorry to be so blunt, but apparently blunt is what you need if you think the law says anything but that. If you believe the law says anyting but that, point it out in the law. Dont come on here with your LGBT talking points and try to talk dumb to people who can think and read for themselves.
Quote:There's no requirement that the person be provided that service in Mississippi or that Mississippi insurance companies be required to ensure that LGBT customers receive the same level of service as straight persons.
Actually, thats exactly what the law says. And also what the law says is that a surgeon doesnt have to perform transgender operations. Since a "straight" person isnt going to a surgeon to have his dick transformed into something resembling a va-gina, then what you have said is wrong. If a transgender breaks their arm they will receive the same care as a straight person, and even states so in the law. If they break their arm, and want the doctor to put their arm in a cast and chop off their pe-nis at the same time, the doctor doesnt have to do that. Clear??

Link?
Quote:The bill does mention that someone can't be refused 'emergency services'. But 'emergency services' is undefined. Does it mean only care for immediate, life threatening medical care?
Thats what emergency services usually means. I know uninsured libturds would just show up to the ER for a sore throat, but emergency services mean life threatening. In other words, dont show up to the ER and claim you are going to die if your pe-nis isnt transformed into a va-gina.
Quote:Who knows, but Mississippi is not known for interpreting things in LGBT persons' favor.

Quote:Expecting a Transgendered or Gay person to have go to court to get needed or essential medical treatment is really the same as a denial of care. Who is going to pay for the lawyer to get medical care?
Show me in this law where anyone can deny anyone medical care, sans transgender operations.
Quote:Seriously, it appears that if (when) a nurse or clerk or doctor decides to spew unwanted anti-Gay preaching at LGBT patients at Mississippi's government owned hospitals (or even hate speech, deliberate misgendering, etc.), that the hospital can't do anything to punish the offensive medical provider or even stop them from continuing to do so. Its open season on LGBT persons in Mississippi, especially in health care.
You simply dont want to hear the truth. it is a medical persons RESPONSIBILITY to point out a life style that is DANGEROUS to one's health. If cross dresser comes in with herpes of the mouth, and says its because he likes to go to bars and blow random dudes, it is the doctors responsibility to let them know that this is a health risk. (Because ,obviously, the guy hasnt figured it out yet.) Just like when some guy shows up complaining of breathing difficulties, and says he smokes 4 packs per day.

Even if this was true, the issue you have is that you denying someone else's CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT of freedom of religion. A right that is in the consitution is going to trump a right that is not directly spelled out in the constitution.
