Following the paste in your first reply, I found this:
That's not offering a sex change operation for free, it's stating that health plans can't deny coverage for preventive services like shots and screening tests for transgender people.
The example given is a transgender man who has residual breast tissue or an intact cervix getting a mammogram or pap smear.

PBS News A groundbreaking ruling by a federal appeals court ensures gender-affirming surgery is covered by state-run health insurance programs. The decision ordered the plans to "reinstate coverage for medically necessary services for the treatment of gender dysphoria." It's a win for the trans community, but it may not be the final word on the issue. Stephanie Sy discussed more with Selena Simmons-Duffin.

The Affordable Care Act bars plans offered on Healthcare.gov from discrimination based on gender, which has been interpreted to include transgenderism, and this has led to broad coverage of gender surgery.Mar 27, 2018
