If passed, this would effectively ban trans healthcare. It would cut funding to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender affirming care. That means only private practices would be able to offer gender affirming care, and most of them would probably have to stop providing it. If they continued to, they would be ineligible to receive payment from medicare or medicaid for any other patients they see, not just the trans ones. The administration is talking about labeling all trans people as terrorists, why would you think they wouldn’t ban trans healthcare with a smile on their shitty faces?
