In case you haven’t heard, those that apply to Medicare for transgender surgery can no longer be automatically denied. The way I understand the ruling by the Department of Health and Services review board, is that a request may not necessarily be approved, but cannot be automatically denied.
For you youngsters, Medicare is for disabled and old people. Therefore, the obvious question is, "Why would some old or disabled person be concerned about a sex change?" Don’t they have enough problems?
Apparently all this came about because of a request from a 74 year old Army veteran who was denied payment for her genital reconstruction a couple of years ago.
Maybe she should apply to the Veterans Administration.
