"Thousands of people can now get access to life saving gender treatment thanks to a change in insurance law in the US.

I started pushing this back in July soon after the military rules were changed but before the insurance rules were changed.  I must say that my primary care NP at the Army hospital was extremely helpful in getting me a mental health referral to start some counseling again under insurance coverage and in guiding me to get all my meds and blood tests at the military hospital at no cost. 

Since I never get sick or injured I'm finally getting some return on the 20 years the government got out of my hide.
