My policy is simple – Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program will no longer cover life-altering and dangerous transgender medical procedures on kids once this bill becomes law. ... urge my colleagues in the Senate to act swiftly to pass this into law.
I will keep pushing to make federal law prohibit taxpayer funding for transgender medical procedures on minors, including through Medicaid, the ACA, and CHIP.
Occurrences
Evidence
The enrolled H.R. 1 bill record on GovInfo shows the enacted reconciliation law (FEHB Protection Act of 2025) was enrolled on July 9, 2025. The bill text and Congressional Record excerpts identify sections prohibiting federal Medicaid and CHIP funding for specified gender transition procedures for minors, and a separate ACA-related section limiting essential health benefits from including gender transition procedures.
GovInfo shows H.R. 498 was received in the Senate and referred to the Finance Committee on December 18, 2025. The full title states it would prohibit federal Medicaid funding for gender transition procedures for minors.
Assessments
The promise was to keep pushing for federal law barring taxpayer funding for transgender medical procedures for minors through Medicaid, the ACA, and CHIP. The evidence indicates enacted federal reconciliation legislation in 2025 included Medicaid and CHIP funding prohibitions plus an ACA-related restriction on essential health benefits. Because the outcome was incorporated into enacted federal law after the campaign context rather than necessarily in the same term, this counts as delivered with later_term timing. Crenshaw-backed or materially aligned efforts also support credit for the outcome.
