Judge rules US government overreached with transgender health care declaration
Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai sided with plaintiffs to vacate Kennedy’s declaration, which prompted investigations into 17 hospitals and proposed federal rules affecting Medicaid funding.
- On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai said he will vacate a late last year declaration by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on gender-affirming care after siding with plaintiffs.
- A coalition of 19 states and the District of Columbia sued in December, and Kasubhai will consider halting the declaration, which threatened providers with Medicare and Medicaid exclusion.
- Court records show procedural rulings including denial of the defendants' motion to dismiss, and at least 17 hospitals have been referred to HHS’s Office of Inspector General over the declaration.
- Kasubhai will consider the states' request to stop implementation, as the declaration warned doctors they could be excluded from Medicare and Medicaid, risking major financial impact on health institutions.
- This ruling follows another court setback on Monday in Boston, with HHS relying on a peer-reviewed report earlier this year that drew sharp criticism from major medical groups.
