What happened
The Trump administration has introduced mandates through CMS that apply to Medicaid enrollees in the District of Columbia. These rules include an end to federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for gender-affirming care for children and youth, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgical operations. Furthermore, guidance was issued regarding how nursing home staff can assist residents in exercising their constitutional rights.
Why it matters
The mandates affect the funding and operational requirements of the federal Medicare program. The rules are reportedly causing financial pressure on hospital systems, such as Mercy, BJC, and SSM. The guidance also draws attention to the unique problems faced by nursing home residents.
