So you and and the rest of your country would be paying for it. And you wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

No choice, no. There are gipsies and travellers that don't pay housing tax or something like that, but otherwise every time you buy a packet of chewing gum you're paying 19-24% in tax. But taxes don't just cover sex changes. It covers things that will save your life, roads, free education (until college), etc.

You can't walk into a clinic and order a vagina or penis. There's shrinks to determine whether you're actually 'suffering.' That includes dressing up and presenting yourself as what you intend to be for at least half a year while starting on hormones. Given the limited amount of cases each year it doesn't make much of a dent in the budget. Hell, if you're a woman and capable of convincing a shrink you're suffering cause of your small tits they'll pay for implants, course that's not a bad thing.
And you probably still have to pay money for medication and maybe hospital stay time and things like that. Here in Ireland it costs me $8 per month of medication. It used to be free.
As Haki says, you can't just walk into a surgery and demand a sex change. There are no doubt wait lists, criteria checks, etc.

I'd hope not... all you would need is only one bad drunken night and a law suit because of said drunken night and the whole thing would get buggered up.
its not like anyone shouldhave to pay more how bout less goin into them fat pigs pockets if we could find a way to keep all them fuckers from dippin we could all have gold teeth big titties penises and vaginas all over our bodies free pills wait....not free CAUSE WERE ALREADY FUCKING PAYING FOR IT we could give thm every past dime we had and theredstill be not enough for us to be healthy and happy its fucking criminal but we all know that already in the grand scheme one penis/vagina issue shouldnt even fucking matter they just make us think it matters so we keep arguing and supersizing our feelings away
The insurance system here is fucking us over; it's the same sort of thing Tom was talking about with Prymaxe. Insurance companies demand a discount price, so hospitals jack up the prices, and it's impossible to afford unless you have insurance.

In the UK you actually have to jump through a lot of hoops to get SRS surgery. And on some level that's definitely fair, it shouldn't be a decision one makes lightly, but I think it's wrong to misrepresent it as a "crazy" thing to do. And I'm not slagging off anyone who doesn't support it being publicly funded, but I completely do.
