I am writing to urge you to pass H.R.2487, the Transgender Health Care Act. This legislation strives to upgrade the educational landscape of gender-affirming care and facilitate access by increasing the capacities of healthcare providers. This bill addresses the need for medical education, training programs, community health center support, special provisions to enhance rural care as well as financial support. This legislation is essential for proper medical care for necessary gender-affirming care. This legislation is important to all Americans as each individual has the right to adequate health care no matter of sexual orientation. America's Transgender population has the right to receive care from properly trained and informed medical professionals who are free of bias related to sexual orientation.
