When has government-funded health care NOT discriminated against men?

Just reading through the comments highlights one outstanding fact: 99.9% of Americans are ignorant of or indifferent to gender issues. (And 99% of the 0.1% left are woefully uninformed.) Responding to an article about anti-male skewing in healthcare, most of the commenters are carping about taxes, race, partisan politics, and their own personal insurance problems. The few that actually do address the gender issue sound suspiciously like MRAs or fems.

The one thing lacking in all such gender discussions is the critical tie to organized feminism. Essentially, the powerful women's health lobby is in fact the feminist health lobby. Likewise with the women's law lobby, labor lobby, education lobby, domestic violence lobby, etc. Truth is, just about any "women's" lobby you can come up with is tethered to or an offshoot of organized feminism. It is, however, difficult to come up with a bright-light paper trail; they thrive on complexity (e.g., Obamacare).

Their various lobbies are in many ways self-reinforcing, creating a synergy between them, the whole being more powerful than the sum of its components. Say, for instance, the health lobby ran afoul equal treatment laws, the legal lobby is janey-on-the-spot. University-level academia lends support to policies in K-12; and the bogus research which underwrites the sexist policies in K-12 is reviewed by the tenured fem-supremacist academics who came before.

As for men's health, there probably won't be a concerted effort to help men until a greater number of women start complaining: their sons, fathers, husbands, etc., are far too cowed.

Men are disposable.
