The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.
The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.
We can stop this. We have to.

I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.
Final passage by one vote, though likely the present and 2 NV were all available to them if they had been needed. It's with the Senate now

The Trump administration replaced the top lawyer at the IRS in a shake-up that coincided with efforts by officials to access taxpayer data for immigration enforcement. The chief counsel position is one of the highest-ranking roles at the IRS and one of only two that require Senate confirmation.
