Medicaid Cuts Threaten Trans Healthcare | Jefferson City News

from Jefferson City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Trump’s administration just rolled out a sweeping Medicaid rule that bans federal funding for gender-affirming care — including hormone therapy and surgeries — starting in 60 days. Framed as fiscal responsibility, the move sparks outrage from major medical groups who warn it will devastate transgender individuals reliant on Medicaid. The policy shift raises urgent questions about who defines “medically necessary” care and whether government health coverage should exclude gender identity treatments. With implementation fast approaching, legal battles and public outcry are expected to intensify. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
