Prohibition of Medicaid Funding for Conversion Therapy

This bill aims to prohibit the use of federal Medicaid funds for so-called conversion therapy. This means that services intended to change sexual orientation or gender identity will not be paid for with public money, which may affect the availability and cost of such services for Medicaid beneficiaries.
Key points
Medicaid will no longer cover the costs of conversion therapy, which includes practices aimed at changing sexual orientation or gender identity.
The bill defines conversion therapy, explicitly excluding support for individuals undergoing gender transition or general psychological support.
This change seeks to protect Medicaid beneficiaries from practices often criticized by medical and psychological communities.
