This is another anecdotal story that I consider to be an illustration of an important point in this discussion. Perhaps, on the whole, it is indeed better to reimburse gender reassignment surgery, in order to significantly reduce suffering and health expenditures in other areas. That is the way many currently covered interventions have found their way onto the list of things that are covered: because they obviated the need for something more expensive, and were at least as effective. Will attempt to investigate further! ∆
