GLAAD - Healthcare for all - Give trans people access (2014) 2:00 (USA)

This choddy produced by GLAAD and The Sylvia Law Project is your usual talking heads edit, except with poor sound, terrible reading off cue cards and no color correction at all. Oh, and it stars a celebrity... Sort of. That young kid who looks like the spitting image of a young Annette Bening is the eldest child of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, Stephen Ira Beatty. Stephen was born Kathlyn Elizabeth and has three younger siblings, but Stephen's lines in the choddy make no mention of celebrity parents. "I grew up outside New York, but I've always known I've wanted to move here for the city's vibrant artistic community." then Stephen explains: "As a trans person, I would hope that I'd be welcomed but many trans people aren't because we don't have the basic healthcare coverage we need to survive." Now, forgive me for not being all updated on how the US system works, but wasn't Obamacare meant to give affordable health care access to everyone? Medicaid is the health programme for families and individuals with low income and resources. This choddy explains that New York State Medicaid "excludes transgender people from accessing care".
