Chair Cassidy Joins Secretary Kennedy for Major Announcement to Protect Children from Dangerous Gender Transitions

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, joined Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr in an event announcing a new Trump administration policy that protects children from gender transition procedures that include mutilation and castration.

"American tax dollars should never fund dangerous child sex-change operations and irreversible procedures. As Chairman of the HELP Committee, I am proud to work alongside the Trump administration to protect children," said Dr. Cassidy.

Earlier this year, Cassidy introduced the No Subsidies for Gender Transition Procedures Act to prohibit taxpayer funded gender transition procedures under Medicaid, Medicare, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act. He is also investigating major medical organizations, provider groups, and insurers for promoting gender transition procedures for children without reliable scientific data. As chair of the HELP Committee, Cassidy is calling these entities to comply with President Trump's executive order to ensure children are not subjected to chemical and surgical castration.
