Eliminate the Discrimination Against Trans Health Coverage

Eliminate the discriminatory restrictions in healthcare against Trans people. Include transsexuality in ACA coverage.

Why is this important?

I am a transsexual woman. Every medical plan Kaiser and the other big insurers offer specifically excludes me and people like me from getting treated for our congenital birth defect. Health coverage that only covers things you don't have is no coverage at all. We are the only group of people still singled out for this type of discrimination. We are calling upon our state legislature and Governor Brown to eliminate these discriminatory restrictions and include transsexuality in the list of essential medical services to be offered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
