Reed: Trump 'Big Bill' Will Take Health Care, Nutrition Assistance From 61,000 Rhode Islanders
- The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday banning federally funded gender-affirming care for transgender people and restricting Medicaid and nutrition assistance.
- President Trump proposed legislation that initially sought to ban gender-affirming treatments for minors but was later amended to prohibit such treatments for individuals of all ages within Medicaid and Affordable Care Act insurance plans.
- The bill includes increased spending for immigration enforcement, energy drilling, and the military while threatening coverage for hundreds of thousands of transgender adults on Medicaid.
- The bill was approved in the House by a narrow margin of 215 to 214; Senator Reed warned that 61,000 residents of Rhode Island stand to be affected by the removal of health care and nutrition support under this legislation.
- The bill now advances to the Senate, where it is likely to undergo revisions, face legal challenges, and requires Democrats to persuade a minimum of four Republican senators to eliminate some of the more controversial measures.
