This bill, known as the "No Subsidies for Gender Transition Procedures Act," seeks to eliminate federal financial support for gender transition procedures across various programs. It proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, specifically section 213(d), to clarify that "medical care" for tax deduction purposes does not include any gender transition procedure . These procedures are broadly defined to encompass hormonal or surgical interventions intended for gender transition, including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and a wide range of surgical alterations. The legislation further prohibits federal funding for these procedures under several key programs. It amends the Social Security Act to deny federal Medicaid funding for specified gender transition procedures and similarly restricts federal Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) funding for minors. Additionally, the bill prohibits federal Medicare funding for these procedures and mandates their exclusion from essential health benefits under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The bill includes specific exclusions, ensuring that services for medically verifiable disorders of sex development, treatment of complications, procedures for imminent physical danger, and certain other medical conditions are not subject to these prohibitions.
