19 States Sue to Block White House Plan to End Gender-Related Care for Minors

Part of the underpinning of that plan is an unironic declaration by #RFKJr that gender-related treatments for minors “fail to meet professional recognized standards of health care.” In the suit, the states argue that the declaration is unlawful & a government overreach.

“Secretary Kennedy cannot unilaterally change medical standards by posting a document online,” #NYAG #LetitiaJames, one of the #states in the lawsuit, said in a statement Tuesday. “And no one should lose access to medically necessary #health care because their #federal government tried to interfere in decisions that belong in doctors’ offices.”

A coalition of 19 #states Tues sued to block the #Trump admin’s plan to strip #federal #funding from #hospitals providing gender-related care for minors, a policy that would effectively shut down any #health care providers that failed to comply.

That plan, announced Thurs by “Health” Secy #RFKJr, would cut off all #Medicaid & #Medicare payments — which make up a major share of #hospital revenue — to any facility that provides minors with gender-related treatments in the country.

Holy shit & hell yeah

#SCOTUS on Tuesday barred #Trump from deploying the #NationalGuard to #Chicago to “protect” #ICE agents, handing the White House a rare loss at the court as Trump has sought to send #military troops to multiple US #cities.
