| Description | Under HB 805, Transgender individuals face forceful and harmful detransitioning when incarcerated in the state of North Carolina. Since April 2026, Ambetter Insurance, owned by the largest provider of Medicare and Medicaid insurances in the nation, has stopped covering hormones and other transition medicine for trans adults. This is the first known insurance company to deny care in a large swath of states as the broader trend of restricting gender-affirming care continues. |
