WaPo: Republican controlled House rejects attempt to ban (government paid) transgender surgery for the troops

And you wonder why it is unlikely Congress is going to pass any meaningful repeal of Obamacare? I understand the Democrats have to pander to this, but now the GOP too?  

Why can't the GOP simply reject this simply on fiscal grounds (since gender transition is typically outside of most private people's insurance coverage). How does it benefit the military to attract people who want their gender transition covered?
