Trump administration ends federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for youth gender care

Federal dollars in Medicaid and CHIP would no longer be used for gender-affirming care for children, while states retain the option to fund such treatment.

CNBC Markets reports the Trump administration has ended federal Medicaid and CHIP funding that would support gender-affirming care for children.

The change means federal dollars tied to the two health insurance programs cannot be directed to gender-affirming treatments, though states may still choose to cover those services using their own resources.
