Trump admin cuts Medicaid funds for youth trans care

The Trump administration has officially stopped federal Medicaid funding for hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries for transgender youths. This move escalates the administration's push to limit access to transition-related care, sparking debates over executive power and protections for LGBTQ+ rights. While states retain the option to use their own funds for these services, the decision raises questions about the future of federal support for gender-affirming care and the role of state versus federal policy in healthcare.
