I think in the short run Marsha is correct.
It's doubtful SRS will be covered.
If you take a slightly longer view, I'm not so sure.
A lot will depend, at least so I believe, on a couple of factors.
1) The US economy must return to some semblance of full employment, and robust real growth,
This is not a sure thing by any means, as more and more foreign markets are driving the US economy, and market gains do not necessarily result in a rising standard of living.
2) Women must continue to make political gains, and assume more and more control over the levers of power.
This could/will lead to more enlightened policies in all matters sexual, and this should benefit all Transgendered.
So vote for women, especially women with liberal social beliefs, and conservative fiscal philosophies.
This combination offers the best hope in gaining more benefits, and having enough money to enjoy them!!!
As Russians in the old Soviet Union used to say relief is just over the horizon. Of course a cynic might remark the closer one comes to the horizon the more it recedes.
