The health agency stated, “Sex-rejecting procedures on children… expose them to irreversible damage.”
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced reforms on transgender interventions for minors on Thursday. Joined by National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Mehmet Oz, and detransitioner Chloe Cole, Secretary Kennedy outlined a series of proposed regulatory actions under President Trump’s executive order to stop the practice of sex-rejecting procedures for minors.
“Under my leadership, and answering President Trump’s call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Secretary Kennedy stated. “This Administration will protect America’s most vulnerable. Our children deserve better—and we are delivering on that promise.”
The HHS department stated, “The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will release a notice of proposed rulemaking to bar hospitals from performing sex-rejecting procedures on children under age 18 as a condition of participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs. Nearly all U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare and Medicaid and this action is designed to ensure that the U.S. government will not be in business with organizations that intentionally or unintentionally inflict permanent harm on children.”
The agency explained, “Sex-rejecting procedures on children — which include puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical operations — expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Kennedy as he seeks to update health regulations and institute reforms to policy.
- For Administrator Oz as he oversees the implentation of Medicare and Medicaid guidelines.
- For Director Bhattacharya to be discerning as he heads the National Institutes of Health.
