Fun fact: "elective surgery" just means any surgery planned in advance. Getting a cancerous tumor removed next week? It's elective. Getting a new kidney after years spent on dialysis? Elective. Removing a chiari malformation in your brain tomorrow? Elective.
They said the surgery was “elective.” They said we would have to pay cash, up front. It took about 8 hours of absolute bullshit and even the morning of, we weren’t sure what would happen.

Insurance then denied coverage for the surgery, saying it was elective.
The surgery to remove the MALIGNANT TUMOR was elective.

man I wish the constitution had something forbidding insurrectionists from holding elective office
Republican polling leader Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened unrest if the criminal charges against him cause him to lose the 2024 election. The former president did not take questions and walked away as a Washington Post reporter asked him to rule out violence by his supporters.

The best argument for why the Afrikaners will assimilate well to America is that so many of them lied about being farmers and are actually just the South African version of PPP fraud guys

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

The difference between cis HRT and trans HRT reminds of the difference between getting an elective vasectomy vs. an elective hysterectomy. The former is met with little resistance, offered on informed consent; the latter is a last resort, met with a thousand are-you-sures or refused outright
It's amazing how quick a doc will give you the option of gender-affirming care if you're cis.

PSA: An elective surgery is a surgery you can schedule.
It has nothing to do with if a procedure is medically necessary. But that means: your aunt's hip replacement? Generally, elective surgery.
So if you see people go 'but it's ELECTIVE they don't NEED it', they're ignorant or willfully so.

What’s an elective you wish you had taken back in the day?
One of my earnest regrets in life is that I didn’t take that AP Latin class in high school. I didn’t think I was smart enough, alas but now I know that I would’ve LOVED it.
