This marks the latest move from the Trump administration to restrict access to trans healthcare and spread an anti-trans ideology.

The federal investigation the administration is pursuing alleges that hospitals incorrectly billed insurers for transgender health care procedures to make a profit.

A report by the Department of Health and Human Services alleged that there have been millions in insurance claims for treatments. These procedures also include the likes of puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

The report is titled Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of "Gender Medicine".

"Some pediatric gender clinics and children's hospitals have apparently used misleading or even fraudulent diagnostic and billing codes to ensure that insurance companies will cover the procedures," Vance wrote in a letter calling for the investigation, Politico reported.

The Trump administration is reportedly seeking reviews of gender-affirming care at more than 200 hospitals and clinics.

The fraud lies with the government.

The government issues an Executive Order (which is not law) and makes an arbitrary, scientifically false statement. Then that same government starts enforcing the lies through investigations and by withholding federal funds.

It is all based upon a false premise. The worst part is that people blindly accept it rather than challenge the faulty premise. Remove the Executive Order, and it all falls apart.
