Tricare Covering Transgender Care Before Regulation Is Finalized

The U.S. military's Tricare health care system now covers transgender military family               members and retirees, despite the official policy not yet going live, a top official said.

"I'm not going to wait for the final policy," Navy Vice Adm. Raquel Bono, head of the Defense Health Agency, said in a wide-ranging interview with Military.com on Thursday at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

"We're going to go ahead and do that because that's what our patients need," she said.

We do have one branch of our government that doesn't screw around when it's time to get moving on things.
Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker
