Iowa Senate advances plan to bar Medicaid sex change care
Senate Study Bill 1237 would bar Iowa Department of Health and Human Services from using Medicaid funds for sex reassignment surgery and related gender dysphoria treatments. The proposal follows GOP moves after laws expanding protections for transgender Iowans were rolled back. Critics warn the measure could curb medical and mental health care and strain other systems.
