Do y'all think that they'll ban HRT for adults? I've read mixed opinions on the subject and haven't seen anything official

I think they will make insurance not cover it or not need to cover it. Though an outright ban is not out of the question. Time to start looking into diy.

Welp, not much different for me. My insurance has insane requirements to cover HRT so I've been paying out of pocket this whole time. You'd think the big pharmaceutical companies would be lobbying against this because it makes them money.

Damn, really? Mine covered hrt without any issue. I just picked it up at target after my 3rd therapy session.

They wanted two separate full psychological assessments, one from a doctor that I did not have a previous patient relationship with, and one of them had to have a doctorate degree. They also wanted "proof" that I had been living as my gender for at least a year.

That what is needed for bottom surgery, not hrt. I wonder if they got confused or were outright lying.

Nope, I've submitted multiple pior authorizations and get the same response every time. They know exactly what they're doing.
