The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many people received care from nurse practitioners and used telehealth. The law also made it a crime to violate the new requirements.

Another new law that allows doctors and pharmacists to refuse to treat transgender people further limits their options.

    Good. You do weird things to your own body on your own will, do not burden taxpayers to pay for it.

      I WISH we had taxpayer funded healthcare in the USA. Sadly, we do not so I’m not sure your point is valid.

      How are taxpayers paying for this? If anything, because of the added administrative requirements, this bill is costing taxpayers more.

          But that’s a pretty straight forward question. How is are people taking elective, private surgery burdening the taxpayers?
