State plans must cover transgender care, federal court rules

Season 2024 Episode 122 | 6m 24s

A groundbreaking ruling by a federal appeals court ensures gender-affirming surgery is covered by state-run health insurance programs. The decision ordered the plans to “reinstate coverage for medically necessary services for the treatment of gender dysphoria.” It’s a win for the trans community, but it may not be the final word on the issue. Stephanie Sy discussed more with Selena Simmons-Duffin.
