Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts has announced increased coverage for gender transitioning.
The company says it is "one of the first health plans in the country" that has "an integrated, clinical team dedicated to gender-affirming care," a term used to describe gender transitioning, "to help members find the care and services that meet their needs during reproductive health and gender-affirming care milestones," according to a press release dated Wednesday, June 5.
The Massachusetts Republican Party blasted President Joe Biden after he signed an executive order that he says will reduce the flow of migrants into the country.
As of Wednesday, June 5, migrants who cross into the United States from Mexico cannot receive asylum unless they do so at a port of entry, according to the executive action announced Tuesday, June 4. Biden's executive order gives him the power to stop migrants from coming into the country during high-volume periods like now, unless they qualify for an exception.
