Kentucky GOP pushes through anti-trans bills and Medicaid changes in 11th hour

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ans-bills-and-medicaid-changes-in-11th-hour.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Monday, March 17th 2025 at 15:20 GMT by WVXU}

As midnight and the governor's veto period approached Friday night, the Kentucky General Assembly pushed through several highly controversial bills, including one that cuts gender-affirming hormone treatments from Medicaid.

The article from WVXU discusses several anti-transgender bills being considered by Kentucky's Republican-led legislature. These bills include measures to restrict transgender healthcare, such as Senate Bill 150 which would ban gender-affirming care for minors, and House Bill 470 which aims to limit Medicaid coverage for transgender-related medical procedures. Additionally, there are proposals to regulate bathroom usage based on biological sex at birth, and to prevent schools from discussing gender identity or sexual orientation. Critics argue these bills target an already vulnerable population, potentially increasing mental health issues among transgender youth. Supporters of the bills claim they are protecting children from what they consider to be experimental treatments and inappropriate discussions in schools. The legislative session has seen significant debate and public outcry over these measures, reflecting a broader national conversation on transgender rights.
