Move blocking funds through Medicaid and Chip to make it harder for vulnerable children to get healthcare, experts say
The Trump administration finalized a rule on Tuesday to end gender-affirming care through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Chip), a move that will make it harder for vulnerable children to access healthcare and that eschews evidence to advance an anti-transgender ideology, opponents say.
The rule is set to take effect on 13 October – but legal challenges could delay or ...

    My god you’re pathetic. Jesus is weeping because of your hate.

    Just for your information Jesus was against the homosexual lifestyle I'm not against it you can be whatever you want to be but nobody has the right to try to change your mind for you to support somebody's agenda let's let kids be kids and if they want to make that change when they are adults let them

    No Jesus was celibate meaning he didn't engage in relationships also God was against the homosexual lifestyle it's in the Bible God vaporized 2 Cities filled with homosexuals and people say Jesus is God incarnate so if he was in favor of the homosexual lifestyle why would he have vaporized those two cities

    Edward could you back this false information with peer reviewed facts? I know I'm engaging with someone who has blindly drank the Kool aid but this is a cruel policy. In my eyes gender affirming care is vital and I don't understand the mental gymnastics occurring where picking and choosing what gender affirming care is allowed. Testing and giving military who are assigned male at birth who identify as male testosterone is gender affirming. Is it okay in your eyes for AFAB woman to get breast implants or is this type of gender affirming surgery also an affront to your existence?

    I don't see how I'm a bigot when I don't want children to be the brainwashed into getting a life altering surgery and be tricked into taking drugs that are known to cause cancer and other major medical complications I believe that you can be whatever you want to be but nobody has the right to trick you into doing things to support somebody's agenda and the real bigots are those who won't see the other side of the story

    I don’t see how I’m a bigot

    Of course you don’t. Because bigots never think they’re bigots. Just like how you never see anyone admit they’re a racist or a pedophile- yet, they still won’t stop whining on truth social.

    "Gender affirming care" isn't just for trans people, but something tells me we're going to see a lot of selective enforcement.

    We started with selective enforcement. What are steroids used for bodybuilding if not gender affirming care? Hair transplants? Plastic surgery? Those platform dress shoes trump used to wear to look taller?

    I doubt many of these were ever provided by Medicare. Plastic surgery in the form of breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy from breast cancer might be. That's probably the best angle to show the double standard here, if trying to change the mind of someone who supports this anti-trans effort.

    Does this mean Medicare won’t cover Viagra anymore?

    Never forget that they've spent orders of magnitude more resources attacking trans people than the total sum of what trans care has ever cost them.

    cruelty is the point.
