Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as Health and Human Services secretary, unveiled a sweeping proposal this week to roll back Biden-era policies that allowed gender-transition procedures for minors and to strip federal reimbursement from institutions that participate in them. The proposal would bar Medicaid and CHIP from covering gender-affirming care for children and could disqualify hospitals that provide such services from Medicare and Medicaid programs, a move that would dramatically reduce access to these procedures for underage patients.
The administration staged a coordinated announcement with top agency leaders, making plain that this is an interagency push to restore common-sense medicine and protect children from irreversible interventions. Officials said the rules are intended to follow through on the president’s directive and will go through the normal regulatory public-comment process before finalization.
Americans who still believe in parental authority and biological reality should celebrate this long-overdue correction. For years, activist-driven policies at federal agencies pushed radical medical protocols on confused and vulnerable young people; HHS is finally taking a stand to prioritize kids and sober medical judgment over ideological experiments.
Predictably, left-wing medical groups and woke institutions are preparing lawsuits and outraged press releases, but the administration appears ready to weather the legal fight. The HHS shake-up has already prompted pushback from some professional organizations and threatened grant relationships, illustrating how entrenched the political capture of public-health institutions has become.
This policy change is part of a broader effort by Secretary Kennedy to reform a bloated and often politicized department, emphasizing disease prevention and fiscal responsibility while cutting programs that prioritize identity politics over patient care. Conservatives should see this as proof that conservative governance means restoring expertise, common sense, and parents’ rights to the center of health policy.
Now is the moment for patriots to stay engaged: submit comments, support officials who put children first, and hold the line in court and in statehouses. The left will howl, the media will smear, but protecting minors from irreversible medical procedures is not controversial — it is an obligation to the next generation, and this administration has signaled it will not back down.
