Guarantee VA coverage for gender dysphoria treatment

The decision to phase out VA coverage for gender dysphoria treatment and medications is detrimental to the well-being and dignity of our nation's veterans who have served honorably. These brave individuals deserve comprehensive and compassionate medical care that meets their unique needs. Instead of denying essential care to a vulnerable population, the VA should explore more ethical cost-saving measures that do not compromise veterans' health and autonomy. One potential alternative could be to re-evaluate the provision of medications like Viagra for erectile dysfunction, as sexual performance enhancement is arguably a lower priority than addressing a recognized medical condition like gender dysphoria. Our veterans have made immense sacrifices for our country, and they deserve access to all medically necessary treatments, including gender-affirming care, through the VA system they have earned.
