https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/trump-issues-finalized-anti-trans>A critical deadline passed yesterday in the federal fight to preserve transgender people’s access to health care. States and providers have sixty days to respond accordingly.>On August 11, the Trump Administration released a final rule that is set to ban Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) from covering most kinds of gender-affirming care for trans young people—including some legal adults at age 18. But “final” is different than “enacted,” and it’s not slated to take effect until October.>“Despite this being called a ‘final rule,’ we have time to fight back,” said The Trevor Project’s Vice President, Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen. “Nothing will change overnight.”>States can offset the rule by subsidizing such care with their own dollars. They could also sue the Administration for what many see as a power grab by Trump officials.>“The rule announced today will face legal challenge,” a press release put out by GLAD Law reads, emphasizing that there is precedent in this arena—and even in the recent past, equal rights groups have scored meaningful victories against the White House on this front.>“Federal courts have blocked previous efforts by the Trump administration to use funding threats to override states’ longstanding authority to regulate medical care, including transgender health care,” it says. “Thus far, Courts have consistently and resoundingly rejected the administration’s efforts to abandon the patients and families who rely on this care.”>The finalized rule does not ban care nationally, nor does it advance Trump’s efforts to ban hospitals from providing these services if they receive Medicaid funds in other areas of practice. It does not change the fact that there is still no federal law restricting gender-affirming care, and in fact, many states have laws explicitly protecting such care.
>>44492216I never realized until recently how much of the left's single-issue fixation on "healthcare" is really just a euphemism for drug dealing. Go tell the states to give you some more drug money, OP. Do the bit where you put your hand on your hip and tap your foot while you wait for them to give it to you.
>>44492216I wonder how much republicans are willing to erode state rights for trans panic pandering, especially when their voting base is getting tired of circus without bread
>>44492620Yeah I'm desperate for the sweet sweet high of uh, vortioxetine
>>44492216STOP TOLERATING FAITH
>>44492792All drugs should be illegal. The left’s radical obsession with them is disgusting. You probably are addicted to that shit too.

>>44492799Vortioxetine is an antidepressant with no abuse potential
>>44492216>States can offset the rule by subsidizing such care with their own dollars.>The finalized rule does not ban care nationally, nor does it advance Trump’s efforts to ban hospitals from providing these services if they receive Medicaid funds in other areas of practice.What's the issue exactly?
