Everyone is screaming about the House “ban” like that’s the end boss. It’s not. The end boss is the boring CMS lever that turns hospitals into hostages.12/17/25 the House passed H.R.3492 “Protect Children’s Innocence Act” 216-211it makes certain youth gender care a federal felony for providers, up to 10 yearsit’s culture war red meat and it probably dies in the SenateCongress link is public, go look.12/18/25 HHS and CMS rolled out proposed rulesthe threat is hospitals lose Medicare and Medicaid if they provide the targeted care to under 18plus Medicaid and CHIP would be blocked from paying for itThis is not “symbolic.” Nearly every hospital lives on those programs. That’s why it’s a ban even before it’s final, because nobody wants to gamble the entire hospital over one service line.SCOTUS upheld Tennessee’s youth care ban on 06/18/25which basically told every legislature “yeah you can probably get away with this”Read the actual opinion if you want to stop sounding like a midwit parroting a thread.GOP gets to campaign on “we passed the ban”Dems get to fundraise on “they’re banning care”hospitals quietly comply because payroll is real and ideology is notnormies never see a vote because it’s done through Conditions of Participation and reimbursement threatsif you normalize “we will defund any hospital that performs procedure X,” you just handed DC a universal kill switchtoday it’s thistomorrow it’s abortion in blue states, guns in red states, pain meds, whatever moral panic is nextyou think you’re picking a side, but you’re really approving the weaponinb4 “OP is defending tr**ns” no, dumbass, I’m saying you’re celebrating the boot because it’s on someone else’s neck today.inb4 “glowie” if reading the mechanism makes me a glowie, you’re terminally internet poisoned.inb4 “just pass laws” they are. The law is the decoy. The money lever is the enforcement.
