Good point and I don't think it's off-topic. Those meds and many other hormonal ones would need to be covered by Medicare to alter the physiological functions involved.

I'm surprised no one above has commented on the aspect of spending on sex change surgery and after treatment while cutting other standard medical treatment reimbursements to the point of making primary care drs. unable to stay solvent in private practice.....a big topic here in TV since 85%+ of TVRH patients are Medicare and reimbursements are already extremely low.
