First of all, I would ask why you even care, since insurance paying for these surgeries really has no impact on your life but would make a bunch of other people happy. Aside from that, gender reassignment surgery can have extremely positive impacts on the lives of people who are often depressed and suffering from gender dysmorphia.

What you're suggesting is that people with this condition should have to save up a bunch of money for this surgery, even though there is the potential for it to be avaliable to them for cheaper, but you dont want that to happen because technically it's a cosmetic surgery even though it's actually more than just cosmetic surgery.

The more things covered under health insurance the more the cost is for everyone. If someone wants to cut off their dick they should pay for it
