Reports (2)
- Status is not correct "Sources are correct that state insurance must pay for the gender affirming care of adults, but under House Bill 808, passed in 2023, minors are unable to obtain gender affirming care, unless already started before the passing of the bill. The court case mentioned in previous sources did not overturn this law. A corrected entry should read something like: Legal, but banned for minors since 2023.
