Nationwide Public Radio (NPR) just lately did a narrative about how the Trump administration is cracking down on using Medicaid and Medicare for so-called ‘gender affirming care’ particularly with reference to youngsters.
That is one other 80/20 problem that the overwhelming majority of the general public helps, it would even be 90/10. Most individuals don’t consider that youngsters needs to be concerned in any of this. We don’t enable youngsters to get tattoos, why would we enable them to get irreversible (and pointless) surgical procedure that may have an effect on them for the remainder of their lives?
Regardless of public outcry, Democrats and the left usually, have made it clear that they merely is not going to let go of this problem.
The language within the NPR story reveals that.
NewsBusters reviews:
Touted as an unique story on Nationwide Public Radio from well being reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin, “Trump’s HHS abandons menace to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care” dutifully repeated the “gender-affirming look after youth” misnomer within the lead whereas offering solely trans-supportive sources.
The Trump administration is abandoning its most aggressive try to finish gender-affirming look after youth nationally, based on an official doc obtained by NPR.
The doc reveals that the Division of Well being and Human Providers is not going to be finalizing a proposed rule that may have blocked all Medicaid and Medicare funding for hospitals that present pediatric gender-affirming care…
The published model that aired on NPR’s All Issues Thought of Monday added a “harmful” adjective to the combination.
Simmons-Duffin: ….The American Medical Affiliation and the Youngsters’s Hospital Affiliation each urged the federal government to withdraw it. They mentioned it violated a number of legal guidelines and set a harmful precedent….
That is precisely why for years now, conservatives have been calling for the defunding of NPR.
They current each problem by way of the lens of the far left and fake that it’s the rational, cheap, and regular place.
Defending youngsters is the cheap place. There’s nothing harmful about that.
