gender-affirming care

Medical care that affirms the gender of an individual. This can include hormone supplements, hormone blockers, and, in some cases, surgical operations. For transgender individuals, this is usually called HRT, or Hormone Replacement Therapy (see example 1). Gender-affirming care is not exclusive to transgender individuals; it also encapsulates cisgender men and women who may have an imbalance of their body's hormones — testosterone and estrogen, respectively (see example 2).
Example 1
Sara booked and attended an intake appointment for her to receive gender-affirming care, which included estradiol and a testosterone blocker.

Example 2
Tony's doctor diagnosed him with gynecomastia, and Tony, who was born as a man and knew he was always a man, sought gender-affirming care via liposuction to correct his chest.

Urgent Care

A local clinic guilty of false advertising that claims to provide health care "urgently." The keyword "Urgent" is merely included to dissuade patients away from hospitals.
"I gotta run up to Urgent Care, be back in a few hours."

"Urgent Care? More like Eventual Care."

"Ryan went to Urgent Care, we have plenty of time to see a movie."

johnson care

A reference to Medicare. Based on the Affordable Care Act being called 'Obama Care', Medicare came in during the Johnson Administration of the 1960's, and so Johnson Care is used to refer to Medicare. Social Security came into effect during the Roosevelt administration of the 1930's, and so Social Security is referred to as Roosevelt Care.
I'm over 65 years old now, so I've signed up for Johnson Care.
