Forgive me, but it would be a shame if they all died on the table.

Once they opened up the door on medical payments, I think it was going to generate a massive long-term problem. You could easily have 300 military members with 14-year old kids who want a transgender surgery option, and you’d suddenly start to pay for them. None of this was clearly thought out.
