"These would be proposals that would go out for public comment, it would take months for the Trump administration to issue a final rule, and then, if past is prologue, we would see litigation over whatever the final rules are,"
"I think these restrictions are very good. It's going to change the entire transgender industry, and it's going to take away a lot of their funding streams."
"This would be a de facto national ban,"
"There would still be providers in blue states that don't take federal funding but the large interdisciplinary teams of just a few years ago would be nearly impossible to maintain. The result is that the care that remains would largely be underground with worse support and like"
The HHS proposal would prohibit Medicaid, Medicare and CHIP funding for services at hospitals that provide gender-affirming care for trans youth. The restriction would deny all federal funding to hospitals offering such care and would affect interdisciplinary pediatric teams that rely on federal reimbursements. The rulemaking process would include public comment, would take months before any final rule, and would likely prompt litigation. The proposal would shift care to providers that refuse federal funds in some states, reduce accessible clinical teams, and likely push remaining services into less supported, harder-to-access settings.
