San Francisco To Pick Up The Tab for Uninsured Residents' Gender-Reassignment Surgery
The commentators at FOX News are going to love this one.
In 2001, San Francisco became the first city in the country to cover the cost of sex change surgeries for transgender city employees. In 2007, it became the first city in the country to provide health care for all uninsured residents through its Healthy San Francisco program.
Now, San Francisco is combining those firsts into yet another pioneering move by becoming the first city in the country to cover the cost of gender reassignment surgeries for its uninsured transgender residents.

The article is confusingly written.
In the first paragraph, it states that the 'gender-bending' surgeries will be covered for city employees.
The second paragraph indicates it will be covered for all city residents.

I may get one .... just to make them spend the money....not because I want one.
