Support legislation protecting healthcare access for transgender individuals The House's narrow passage of the recent budget bill raises concerns about access to essential healthcare services like gender-affirming care. As a constituent, I urge you to advocate for federal legislation that protects the right of transgender individuals to receive medically necessary, potentially life-saving treatment through Medicaid coverage. Gender-affirming care is recognized as an evidence-based practice by major medical associations, and denying access can have devastating consequences on the wellbeing and lives of trans people. Ensuring comprehensive and affordable healthcare for all must be a priority. I implore you to support measures that safeguard the health and human rights of the transgender community.
