The Department of Defense and Sex Reassignment–Costs
$2.4 million and $8.4 million
President Trump on Wednesday announced that he would ban transgender people from serving in the military. Trump cited the cost of medical care related to gender transition treatment as a primary reason for his decision. A Rand study estimates those costs at between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually.
Note that the DoD spends 5x as much on Viagra. So there you go.
