On Tuesday, the Trump administration released a finalized rule that restricts federal healthcare funding for transgender minors. The regulation blocks the use of federal Medicaid dollars and bars Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans from paying for gender-affirming healthcare and procedures for minors.
The action represents the culmination of the administration's efforts to target gender-affirming care through federal funding mechanisms. By utilizing Medicaid and CHIP restrictions, the policy directly impacts the administration of public health insurance programs for low-income children and families.
