Senators Debate Trans Care Bans; Expert Testifies To 'Anguish' Of Families, Doctors Physician and Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), the outgoing chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, stood fast that the federal government should not fund gender transition procedures on minors. "Let's fulfill our duty to let kids be kids," he said. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) pushed back, saying, "Not only would banning gender-affirmative care do nothing to protect kids, it will make it harder for them to get the healthcare they need, and that would be a tragedy." https://kffhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/lgbtq-health-060426/
