Just wait until the Trump admin gets their claws into what the differentiation means.

Fake tits = medically necessary

Vision restoration = cosmetic

Medically ~~necessary~~ mandatory with those psychos. If you don't get to control whether or not to have a child, imagine what else women will not get to choose. 18 men register for selective service, and women will select which "service" they can do for their country, Botox, perma-spraytan, or augmentation. Patriot Points will be determined for those who refuse, holding camps and deportation await. A glorious future.
