Major US Hospitals Cease Gender-Affirming Care for Youth
At least six large hospitals in the United States have agreed to stop providing gender-affirming care for minors following pressure from the Trump administration, which threatened to withhold federal subsidies. The settlements involve institutions in states like New York and Pennsylvania, marking a victory for President Donald Trump’s policy stance that potential harms outweigh benefits. Meanwhile, Republican Senator John Curtis has called for an investigation into whether the Trump family profits from his presidency, citing concerns over business activities involving his son, Donald Trump Jr., including cryptocurrency promotions and real estate deals with foreign leaders.
