- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has initiated measures targeting medical procedures related to gender transition for minors.
- This new proposal aims to block Medicare and Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures performed on patients under 18 years of age.
- HHS’s decision is framed as a response against what it considers “sex-rejecting procedures” for children, indicating a strong stance against such medical treatments for minors.
- There is concern that this policy could impact the funding and financial stability of hospitals that provide gender transition services to minors, potentially putting their services at risk.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has publicly supported HHS’s measures, labeling these gender transition treatments for minors as “malpractice,” thereby fueling the debate on this issue.
