You know what, I think I need to eat crow and just say it: I was wrong about stockpiling HRT. We need to start talking about creating stockpiles over the next few months and developing networks for distribution outside insurance and big providers.
I was watching a video and they just reminded me that they have vowed to overturn ACA as a priority and there is no longer resistance within the republicans to this. ACA has a clause that my org has leveraged across the country to compel insurance companies and doctors to provide HRT. Others have done this too and this is the reason it is covered now and that being trans isn’t a disqualifying condition for coverage.
Without ACA, any state that doesn’t have laws in place providing similar protections and guarantees is going to see insurance companies pull the rug out from under trans healthcare. I would venture to guess we can still leverage state laws in California, but probably about 2/3rds of the states won’t.
