President Trump has engaged in alarming actions to dismantle health care support for transgender youth. Hospitals fear losing federal funding under Medicaid and Medicare, leading to a withdrawal of services for these vulnerable patients. The administration's tactics have intensified, with events like a Federal Trade Commission workshop sending threats to medical professionals providing care. Subpoenas targeting clinics that offer gender-affirming care have raised concerns about patient confidentiality. Accusations made at these events have criticized medical professionals while lacking substantial evidence to support claims of deceit regarding care benefits.
Hospitals worried that their federal funding for Medicaid and Medicare may be jeopardized are rapidly withdrawing support from this small, vulnerable group of young people.
The tone of the administration's attacks has become darker, as demonstrated by a workshop organized by the Federal Trade Commission titled 'The Dangers of Gender-Affirming Care' for Minors.
