The provision was stricken late at night to appeal to hardline conservatives.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled du Bois posting to implore you to contact your senators and tell them to vote no on the budget. Trans people including me will lose their healthcare if this bill passes the Senate.
This post will be reposted several times in the next few days. Please spread it, post to other platforms, etc.
i don’t like reblogging heavy shit on my account but please contact your senators if possible. this bill also seeks to remove all medicaid coverage (meaning all care, not just gender affirming care) for patients at my employer, one of the larger clinic groups to offer hrt, and being a nonprofit that makes up the majority of the patient base nationwide. it will likely lead to clinic closures across the country within the medical group meaning even trans people with private insurance or that can afford self-pay costs will lose access to care. i’m really not looking forward to the possibility of losing my job and both my and all my patient’s access to hrt.
