Agency for Health Care Administration Strips Care From 9,000+ Transgender Floridians

TALLAHASSEE, FL -- This weekend, the Agency for Health Care Administration’s (AHCA) rule stripping Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care goes into effect, officially ripping life-saving care from thousands of vulnerable Floridians. The rule, which denies Medicaid coverage for transgender healthcare, is part of a broader assault on health care for transgender Floridians that has engulfed state agencies and the legislature.
