San Francisco continues to lead the U.S. in strange firsts. They are about to become the first city to cover costs of genger reassignment surgery.
This program would be for San Francisco residents who are uninsured.
On Tuesday, the cities’ Health Commission voted for the program which was announced last Thursday.
The program would cover mastectomies, genital reconstruction and other related surgery.
According to Barbara Garcia, the local Public Health Director, the program would not be running until later next year.
