Summary of the ArticleThis article explains that a proposed federal rule would cut Medicaid funds from hospitals that provide gender affirming care to transgender youth, driving closures. It describes how the Trans Youth Emergency Project helps families find independent care as access shrinks.
"Over the last several years, many red states have banned gender affirming care for transgender youth."
"a new federal rule, now in its public comment period, would bar any hospital that provides transgender healthcare from receiving Medicaid funds."
"the rule contains no carveouts for patients already receiving care, meaning many transgender youth would be forced into abrupt medical detransition unless they can quickly secure alternative providers."
"It explicitly claims to preempt state shield laws in places like California, Minnesota and New York."
"The proposed rule further destabilizes an already fragile healthcare landscape for transgender youth, as hospitals and clinics continue to shutter services in preemptive compliance with the administration's escalating threats."
"The rule does leave one narrow avenue for transgender youth to continue accessing care: private, independent clinics and physicians who do not accept Medicaid."
"At every turn, we have been able to pivot and scale up and show people the reason that this is important."
"Everyone needs the support right now and it's ok. We have the capacity to take it on."
"the mere threat of new anti trans rules is often enough to prompt hospital systems to fold."
"organizations like the Trans Youth Emergency Project will be essential in helping families navigate a rapidly shrinking and increasingly opaque care landscape."
