The Congressional Equality Caucus criticized a recent budget reconciliation bill promoting cuts to Medicaid and excluding coverage for gender-affirming care for transgender minors. U.S. Rep. Mark Takano highlighted the bill's harmful impact on healthcare access, arguing that it prioritizes tax breaks for the wealthy over essential healthcare services for millions. He emphasized the right of all individuals, including transgender people, to make healthcare decisions without government interference, condemning the bill as a distraction from broader healthcare issues affecting working families.
As costs continue to rise, Congress should be focused on helping working families, not cutting Medicaid.
Republicans' cruel reconciliation bill restricts transgender people's access to medically necessary and lifesaving health care.
