I'm writing to urge you to oppose H.R. 3492, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, H.R. 498, the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act, and should it return to the House, S. 1071, the National Defense Authorization Act. These bills will unnecessarily ban, and even criminalize, health care for transgender Americans, or even define them out of existence within our military. Congress should be working to increase access and reduce costs for Americans, not attack a vulnerable population and block them from life-saving care, or erase them from public life entirely.
