HEALTHCARE WILL NO LONGER FUND GENDER TRANSITION SURGERIES

WASHINGTON, AUGUST 12 /SRNA/ - U.S. President Donald Trump stated that gender transition surgeries in the United States will no longer be covered by the federal health insurance program "Medicaid."

"Medicaid will stop funding gender transition surgeries and hormone therapy for minors. We will not pay for our innocent children to be subjected to these barbaric surgeries and procedures that cause unimaginable and irreversible harm to their young bodies," Trump wrote on the social media network "Truth Social."

He added that, thanks to the firm stance and pressure from his administration since the beginning of his term, dozens of hospitals in the U.S. have already suspended so-called "gender-affirming care," and that he expects many more to follow suit.
