Kroger to offer transgender health benefits
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (BP) -- In 2002, no major U.S. corporation covered transgender procedures, such as gender-reassignment surgery and drug therapy, under its employee medical benefit plan. Today more than 400 do, including Ford, Apple and Coke. The Kroger Co., the largest grocery chain in the nation with 2,500 stores, is set to join the list next month.
