Deny State Medicaid Coverage for Pediatric Sex Transitions
Problem:
Your state’s Medicaid program provides public health coverage offering a range of services to children that may include coverage of pediatric sex transitions.
– While the federal government sets some requirements and provides joint funding based on a state-specific formula known as the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP), your state has flexibility in how it implements and administers its program, including how it defines its own eligibility requirements.
– Your state Medicaid program may choose to ignore federal guidance and may still be paying for pediatric sex transitions.
Solution:
Prohibit your state Medicaid program from covering pediatric sex transitions.
Why this works:
Your state Medicaid program may be serving as a backdoor avenue for gender zealots to fund pediatric sex transitions. Because at least 50% of the funds your state receives for its program come from the federal government via FMAP, it is entirely logical and consistent that your state should honor the federal government’s guidance regarding pediatric sex transitions, which is laid out clearly and succinctly in U.S. Presidential Executive Order 14187, 90 FR 8771 (January 28, 2025).
