Rule proposed
The Trump administration proposes blocking federal Medicaid and CHIP funds for gender-affirming care for minors.
The finalized rule conditioning federal Medicaid and CHIP dollars on excluding pediatric gender-affirming care creates a novel federal funding restriction that legal experts say has no direct precedent. Attorneys and health policy counsel are already assessing potential Administrative Procedure Act, equal protection, and Medicaid Act challenges.
Legal and compliance teams face a new federal directive ending Medicaid and CHIP coverage for minors' gender-affirming care on October 13, while states retain authority to spend their own funds. Expect litigation over CMS authority, equal protection, and Section 1557.
