They just pulled your kid’s coverage

Medicaid will no longer cover puberty blockers, hormones, or surgery for transgender minors. Trump officials announced the change ahead of the midterms, as reported by the Washington Post. Families who rely on Medicaid lose the coverage they counted on.

Officials said Medicaid will stop paying for those treatments for anyone under 18. It was not the only legal fight that day. Four human rights groups sued the Trump administration over its sanctions on the International Criminal Court, saying the order breaks U.S. rights and international law.

This comes in a year when many children have already lost Medicaid because of paperwork problems, according to NBC News. Families have spent months trying to get coverage back. Now some kids are being told that Medicaid will not pay for their doctor-recommended care.

You do not need to change your politics to see this is wrong. If you want leaders who protect care, vote to replace Republican power in 2026.
