Plume Clinic

In 2023, we’ve seen more than 500+ pieces of anti-trans legislation that has had a far reaching and chilling effect on gender care providers and patients. Thank you Daniel Trotta for working with Plume, the AMA and other hospital systems around the country to tell this story. https://lnkd.in/gc8AS2ij

Two weeks ago I, and Dee S., our Director of Communications here at Plume Clinic joined Advocates for Trans Equality along with many other TGNC folks and allies from around the nation to meet with lawmakers and staff on Capitol Hill to advocate for the Transgender Bill of Rights and several other pieces of legislation that would help protect and advance rights for trans, nonbinary and gender nonconforming folks across our country. Equal access to healthcare, housing, employment, education -- and being safe -- are fundamental rights we should all enjoy. We're grateful for the time given to us as constituents by elected officials and staff on both sides of the aisle, as well as Melanie Fontes Rainer the Director of the Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). A huge thanks to A4TE for organizing this effort -- so inspiring to hear from trans elders who have paved the way and amazing to see this many TGNC folks on Capitol Hill!

It's a disturbing reality of our current system that those with the lowest income often must choose insurance plans with high deductibles, leading to higher out-of-pocket costs and a greater proportion of take-home pay being dedicated to health care. This usually overlaps with intersectional identities and only furthers health inequities even before individuals enter the clinic door. As employers, we should consider progressive benefit coverage which covers more if not all of the premiums for those at the lower end of the pay scale in our organizations. It enables an escape from the pernicious cycle of pushing greater risk of health expenditures on those that are often most vulnerable and disenfranchised societally.
