A state panel advising Gov. Cuomo wants taxpayers to foot the bill for transgender residents to get "sexual-reassignment surgery," allowing them to change their physical characteristics from a man to a woman or woman to man, The Post has learned.
New York's costliest-in-the-nation Medicaid program would cover the tab.
"Provide Medicaid coverage for transgender surgery/hormone replace-ment therapy and treatment," read the proposal submitted by the state "health disparities work group.''
