The #Trump admin is expected to announce several moves Thursday that will have the effect of essentially banning #GenderAffirmingCare for #transgender young people nationwide, even in #states where it is legal.

“Health” Secy #RFKJr will be announcing the measures in a press conference scheduled for 11AM at #HHS HQ. #DrOz, who leads the Centers for #Medicare & #Medicaid, Dr. Marty Makary, of the #FDA, & Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, of the #NIH, will all be at the presser.

In October, NPR exclusively reported on 2 new proposed rules for hospitals that #DrOz is expected to announce Thursday. The first would prohibit #doctors & #hospitals from receiving federal #Medicaid reimbursement for #medical care provided to #transgender patients younger than age 18. The second would block all Medicaid & #Medicare funding for ANY services at hospitals that provide pediatric #GenderAffirmingCare.

#Medicaid provides #healthcare coverage to #LowIncome children & adults in the US #Medicare is the #health program for Americans over 65 [ #seniors] & #disabled people. Virtually every #hospital in the country takes Medicare & relies on it, so the rule would have a wide-ranging effect.

Drs Makary & Bhattacharya are also expected to make announcements about #healthcare that #transgender young people receive.

The pivot to the topic of transgender minors comes one day after #Republicans in the #House of Representatives passed a package of #health care bills that do not extend subsidies for people who buy #HealthInsurance in #AffordableCareAct plans.
