Healthcare bans hurt Americans!

The proposed Senate Bill 1511, concerning insurance coverage for gender surgeries, raises significant concerns. It contradicts the professional and scientific consensus that gender-affirming care is life-saving and essential. The potential for harm is high, with healthcare providers facing criminal charges and parents being threatened with child abuse charges. It's crucial to note that intersex children are typically exempted from such bans. The Movement Advancement Project provides an interactive map illustrating the prevalence of healthcare bans across the U.S. It's requested that the implications of this bill be reconsidered, taking into account the potential harm and the need for inclusive healthcare.
