6. Republicans are simply evil. I'm sorry they're hurting you.

They're intentionally making trans healthcare not economically viable for insurers. For 20+ years, ever since the city of San Francisco decided to cover trans health care and discovered it's cheaper to add it to policies than exclude it, all insurance companies have increasingly done so unless specific employers specifically wanted it prohibited. In which case, everyone's premiums at that employer went up very slightly (~$1). It's simply "good business", as it results in healthier people.


There is hope though. The very last section reads,

"SECTION 6. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023."

So perhaps at least your FFS in May should still be possible?
