The Trump administration is finalizing rules to end Medicaid funding for sex change procedures, including cross-sex surgeries and hormones, for minors. The Department of Health and Human Services is finalizing a controversial rule that would block Medicaid reimbursement for healthcare providers who give gender transition procedures to minors, the Washington Examiner confirmed. HHS spokeswoman Emily Hilliard told the Washington Examiner that Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “is drawing a clear line” that children in the United States “will not be subjected to life-altering interventions on the taxpayer’s dime without reliable evidence of safety and clinical benefit.” Advertisement
