US bars federal funding of gender-affirming care for low-income minors
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported1m ago
The Trump administration has finalized a rule in Washington barring two major federal health programs from funding gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers, for low-income minors. President Donald Trump ordered the funding cut, describing such treatments for minors as barbaric surgeries and practices.
While the federal regulation does not explicitly ban the medical procedures themselves, the policy eliminates the federal financial support that previously made this healthcare accessible to millions of low-income children.
