flag HHS proposes banning federal funding for gender-affirming care for minors, citing safety concerns and aligning with a recent executive order.

flag The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed new rules restricting gender-affirming treatments for minors, including hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries, citing health risks and lack of proven benefits. flag Hospitals receiving federal funds would lose support if they provide these treatments, and Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP would be barred from covering them for those under 19. flag The FDA issued warning letters to 12 companies for illegally marketing breast binders for gender dysphoria. flag HHS also plans to redefine disability to exclude gender dysphoria unless tied to a physical condition. flag The move aligns with a January 2025 executive order banning such procedures, with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calling them dangerous and akin to malpractice.
