Trustees at the University of Illinois-Chicago on Wednesday approved a student insurance plan that, for the first time, includes coverage for gender reassignment surgeries as of this fall.

According to the university, the trustees voted 6-2 in a Wednesday meeting to approve a $60 -- or 15 percent -- increase per semester for the CampusCare student insurance plan that also offers better benefits for out-of-network emergency care. The insurance plan will now cost UIC students a total of $922 annually.

I see a trend developing.  Good thing.  Maybe I will have to go back to college and work on my PhD.
