Health, General Practitioners, Medical Specialists AMA Adds Trans-Inclusive PoliciesJune 29, 2007The National Center for Transgender Equality applauds the American Medical Association for its vote earlier this week to amend its nondiscrimination policies to include transgender people. AMA nondiscrimination policies already include sexual orientation. The new policies address a wide range of contexts, including discrimination against patients, medical students and physicians as well as insurance policy. Of particular note, the AMA policies call for an end to the discriminatory insurance policies that trans people often face-policies that disallow coverage for transition related care, sex specific care and even exclude all care for some trans people. Mara Keisling, Executive Director of the NCTE, called the new AMA policies "a great step in moving the American healthcare system in a dir ection of more fairness for transgender people."
