Interesting court case from yesterday.....by the German Federal Social Court, on trans 'stuff'.
So after a review, they came to say that if you wanted to transform from X to Y (male to female or opposite).....you pay for it yourself. It won't come out of normal healthcare insurance.
A challenge? I would suggest if you went to the typical average working-class German and talked up this transformation....there's no way that you have 20,000 Euro sitting around for this surgical business, and you certainly don't have 2,000 Euro a year for drugs required to maintain this situation. Then you add in the 40-odd man-hours a year for mental clinic therapy?
So I'll suggest this trend....that only the rich and well-to-do go down the surgical path for trans stuff in Germany.
How they came to this decision? I would imagine they added up the cost, and yearly drug situation....realizing the impact on the healthcare insurance program.
