The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Other provisions in the bill also ban GAC as an Essential Health Benefit under the ACA starting in 2027, which will lead to the loss of GAC coverage for ACA exchange plans (and likely a lot of employer-based plans) in states that don’t have a specific GAC coverage mandate.
