Interesting. Sounds good. Too bad there's no jobs there that I could qualify for.

It sounds still iffy, they have until the end of this month to make their proposals which aren't blanket inclusions of trans care.

In California some companies may follow what Kaiser did for 2014and provide counseling, hormones, and GRS.  Kaiser apparently decided to follow the DMHC ruling regarding Transgender coverage to Federal Employees in the state of California only, even though the OPM had an exclusion for "Sex Transformations."  My guess is that we will see plans similar to commercial plans by region.

It's a bit late for me unless I remarry my ex. And I'm pretty sure he isn't planning on using any trans coverage.

Still, it's about time.
