| Description | SB 904 explicitly excludes Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care to transgender individuals. 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. |
