Why should the tax payers have to pay for this? I know people now that have had, or currently waiting to have this procedure done. Some have even traveled to Canada or even Thailand to have this elective surgery done at a minimal cost of 15K. IMO, you commit a crime and you are sentenced to prison, you automatically give up your right to have anything such as this elective procedure done and paid for my the law abiding tax payers out there. You want to surgically alter your body? Fine, just don't expect the tax payers of your state to pay for it after you've commited some form of crime....... </end rant>
