This document discusses discrimination faced by the transgender population in accessing healthcare in Massachusetts. It outlines two major issues - difficulty finding providers sensitive to transgender health issues and inability to pay for needed services due to discriminatory insurance policies. To address this, the document proposes that Massachusetts pass a non-discrimination statement similar to California's to prohibit discriminatory language in health plans and facilitate care delivery. It also suggests incorporating transgender health education for medical professionals and gathering health data on transgender populations to better understand their needs.
