Where do they get this kind of money from?
The pharma industry must be making a killing promoting this.
Thanks for keeping on paying your taxes.

The city of San Francisco this week launched a guaranteed income program aimed at the transgender community.
The Guaranteed Income for Transgender People, or GIFT, pilot program will provide 55 eligible residents with $1,200 per month for 18 months, as well as healthcare and financial coaching.
The program began accepting applications Wednesday. The application period will close in December.
Recipients will be selected by organizations helping to administer and shape the program, including the Transgender District, a group whose goal is to help trans people find economic security.
“By giving low-income trans people the resources to cover the expenses they deem most immediate and important given each person’s unique situation, we are implementing a truly community-centered intervention to combat poverty,” said Aria Sa’id, president of the Transgender District.
Trans people experience poverty at a much higher rate than other Californians, proponents of the program said.
