Florida To Stop Spending Taxpayer Medicaid Money On Transgender Treatments
2022-08-14
[DAILYCALLER] The state of Florida will no longer cover "gender-affirming" care under Medicaid, the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) ruled Thursday.

Doctors will no longer be able to bill the state’s Medicaid program for procedures and drugs including sex changes, puberty blockers and hormone therapies beginning Aug. 21. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
...Republican governor of Florida, stone in the shoe of the Dems and their ilk, maybe one-day president...
 has taken an increasingly hostile stance toward these treatments for people suffering from gender dysphoria, particularly children, according to Politico.

Florida health authorities voted last Friday to begin the process of potentially banning sex change treatments for minors, according to Politico.
Good. That’ll be the trigger for some families to move there from Blue states.
There is widespread disagreement within the medical community on whether such treatments are safe for young people. The American Academy of Pediatrics endorses sex changes for kids, but Florida’s Department of Health has accused the Department of Health and Human Services of misleading the public on the topic.

Treating to correct this well documented mental illness, I can support.

Promoting the continued practice of their Mental Illness, I cannot.

What next, people that want legs and arms reformed, made to look like their "Spider Self"?

#2  Medicare won't pay for laser eye surgery, it's "elective". Seems to me this transgender stuff is also elective.

#1  Yes. This treatment should be reserved for the wealthy and over educated indoctrinated who seem so invested in promoting it. They can pay for it themselves.
