What is the official ID of this bill?
The official print number for this legislation is S 1595.
Ban on Federal Funding for Gender Transition Procedures and Related Insurance Subsidies.
This bill prohibits the use of federal taxpayer money to fund gender transition procedures, including surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. This means federal health programs, government facilities, and federally subsidized insurance plans (like those under the ACA) cannot cover these costs. Individuals can still purchase separate coverage for these procedures, but federal subsidies cannot be applied to those premiums.
Key points
Federal funds, including those for health programs and insurance, cannot be spent on gender transition procedures.
Individuals purchasing health insurance through the ACA marketplace will lose federal premium subsidies if their chosen plan covers gender transition procedures.
Federal government medical facilities and employees are prohibited from providing gender transition procedures.
Treatment for complications arising from previously performed gender transition procedures remains eligible for federal funding.
