What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai agreed to end gender-affirming medical care for minors in New York following a settlement with the Justice Department. This settlement occurred even though a federal judge had previously ordered patient records to be protected. Separately, federal officials finalized restrictions on Medicaid and CHIP funding for specified gender-affirming care in August.
