Hillary Clinton said the lack of medical insurance coverage for gender-reassignment surgery is an issue that’s “going to have to be dealt with.” At a townhall campaign event in Nevada Tuesday, a woman who said she was the mother of a transgendered person asked the Democratic candidate about insuring her child’s “genetic issue,” Ruby Cramer of BuzzFeed reports.
Clinton responded, “The issues you’re raising are going to have to be dealt with.” Here are Cramer’s tweets:
