What happened
The Department of Health & Human Services received federal funding while simultaneously issuing directives that limit certain types of care under the administration of Donald Trump. The administration finalized a policy restricting federal funds, and the Department of Justice reached settlements with hospitals, such as New York University Langone Hospitals and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centers. These hospitals agreed not to provide puberty blockers, hormones, or gender-affirming surgery for patients under 19.

Why it matters
The administration's actions include a proposed rule aimed at reforming Head Start, which targets the program's structure and funding. Furthermore, the proposed rule would prevent health systems offering gender-affirming care from receiving federal funding. The Department of Health & Human Services also released a report linking gender ideology to political violence.
A presidential order established executive authority, mandating the Department of Health & Human Services to execute orders and prompting the CDC to review scientific assessments with ACIP.
