Transgender health care is broadly misunderstood by the general population. Finding competent and welcoming providers and medical facilities can be daunting in spite of gains realized by the Affordable Care Act and other recently passed laws. Finding coverage for medically necessary care is close to impossible for most, even though leading medical associations support coverage. This workshop is a call to action for anyone looking to be involved in the movement to stop transgender health care discrimination. Understanding the aspects of medical transition and the developing legal landscape challenging barriers to care can help allies become better and more effective. This workshop will include transgender and gender non-conforming narratives.Diana_CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223056441901730531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25196141.post-47215668862303033812014-04-21T15:22:30.985-04:002014-04-21T15:22:30.985-04:00Are you sure that ACA will require coverage of GCS...Are you sure that ACA will require coverage of GCS?

Most private employers still aren't covering it. : (<br /><br />Best to you,<br /><br />KarinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
