Summary
At least 27 states have moved to restrict gender-affirming care for children, according to health policy organization KFF. The president has announced an end to Medicaid funding for gender-affirming care for minors as he vowed to 'protect America's children.' Trump revealed Tuesday evening on Truth Social that he had directed Dr Mehmet Oz , administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, to implement the new policy. 'We are not going to pay four our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices, which result in unthinkable and irreversible harm to their young bodies,' Trump said, noting that a number of hospitals across the US have already stopped performing the procedures.
Furthermore, Even in states that haven't, many major hospitals have stopped providing some of the treatments. Puberty blockers and hormone treatments are more common. A damning medical study published last year found that that fewer than one in 1,000 US adolescents received puberty blockers or hormones over a recent five-year period.
In addition, The administration’s move is set to take effect October 13, though state funds could still be used to help cover the treatments.
