"SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WEEK) — Gov. J.B. Pritzker has ordered the state's Medicaid program to begin covering the costs of sex reassignment surgeries for transgender people.
The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services will develop administrative rules to offer coverage to people diagnosed with gender dysphoria to pay for genital and breast-related surgeries."
