Federal laws banning health insurance discrimination against transgender people, combined with Obamacare's ban on denying coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, have paved a path for transgender patients who wish to make the transition from one gender to another.
What gets covered varies from Obamacare policy to policy. But Transgender Law Center program administrator Anand Kalra says, "The law and policy are on a transgender person's side for the first time."

"gender reassignment" may be the single most ridiculous PC phrase humanity has ever created.

IMO it would be discrimination to cover them as part of a gender reassignment surgery and not for the ladies.

The fact that's it's even a fricking possibility is retarded on a level that I didn't think was attainable.

If the "MSM" makes any slight error, we get multiple threads and remarks about it for years. Yet daily there are errors from these right wing "news sites" like Breitbart outright lying and we hear... crickets.
Let's look shall we?
You link Breitbart with its headline:
Hmmm... The law not yet written.
And who are these "regulators" who say this? No mention. Yet we have this:
And to top it all off, the story is about a person who had the surgery and her Obamacare insurer didn't cover it.

OBAMACARE NOW COVERS GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERIES

The federal anti-discrimination regulations have yet to be written, but California insurance regulators have said that companies must treat transgender patients the same as other patients.

A few obstacles remain for transgender patients. Not many doctors specialize in transgender care. And while the law opens the door to insurance coverage, insurers can set conditions and don’t automatically approve payment.
And to top it all off, the story is about a person who had the surgery and her Obamacare insurer didn't cover it.

But recently she got a statement saying she was on the hook for $17,000 of the total cost of the surgery.
