Provide gender-affirming care through VA

Warren proposes that VA provide LGBTQ+ veterans targeted outreach and equal care, including medically necessary, gender-affirming care for transgender people. Providers would be able to determine whether procedures such as transition-related surgery are medically necessary based on an individual assessment. She says VA’s blanket exclusion of medically necessary treatment should be repealed, and that the care would also be covered under Medicare for All.
