Relating to civil liability for, governmental health plan coverage of, and public funding for gender modification procedures and treatments.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make health insurers and doctors pay for gender‑transition care and any reversal, while stopping public money from funding these procedures.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Every Texas resident could see higher insurance premiums or fewer doctors offering care, and low‑income patients may lose state funding for needed treatments.
