Nationwide Public Radio (NPR) just lately did a narrative about how the Trump administration is cracking down on using Medicaid and Medicare for so-called ‘gender affirming care’ particularly on the subject of youngsters.
That is one other 80/20 problem that the overwhelming majority of the general public helps, it’d even be 90/10. Most individuals don’t consider that youngsters must be concerned in any of this. We don’t enable youngsters to get tattoos, why would we enable them to get irreversible (and pointless) surgical procedure that may have an effect on them for the remainder of their lives.
Regardless of public outcry, Democrats and the left generally, have made it clear that they merely is not going to let go of this problem.
The language within the NPR story reveals that.
NewsBusters studies:
Touted as an unique story on Nationwide Public Radio from well being reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin, “Trump’s HHS abandons risk to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care” dutifully repeated the “gender-affirming take care of youth” misnomer within the lead whereas offering solely trans-supportive sources.
The Trump administration is abandoning its most aggressive try to finish gender-affirming take care of youth nationally, in keeping with an official doc obtained by NPR.
The doc reveals that the Division of Well being and Human Providers is not going to be finalizing a proposed rule that will have blocked all Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that present pediatric gender-affirming care…
The printed model that aired on NPR’s All Issues Thought-about Monday added a “harmful” adjective to the combination.
Simmons-Duffin: ….The American Medical Affiliation and the Kids’s Hospital Affiliation each urged the federal government to withdraw it. They stated it violated a number of legal guidelines and set a harmful precedent….
That is precisely why for years now, conservatives have been calling for the defunding of NPR.
They current each problem via the lens of the far left and faux that it’s the rational, cheap, and regular place.
Defending youngsters is the cheap place. There may be nothing harmful about that.
