ANebraska state senator who has a transgender child is being investigated for a potential conflict of interest after she voted against a bill that would ban gender-affirming health care for minors.

The complaint, filed Wednesday by Omaha lawyer David Begley, alleges Nebraska Democratic Sen. Megan Hunt could benefit financially from the failure of Legislative Bill 574, a measure that would bar health care providers from administering gender-affirming medical care to transgender patients younger than 19.

Begley, in the complaint filed with the state’s Accountability and Disclosure Commission, wrote that Hunt and her child, who is a minor, “have a slightly more than average chance of obtaining Nebraska Medicaid coverage” for her child’s medical transition if LB 574, otherwise known as the “Let Them Grow Act,” fails to become law.

“If LB 574 does not become law, then Sen. Hunt’s immediate family member could receive a financial benefit, with Medicaid paying for the medical services necessary to transition genders,” Begley wrote in the complaint, a portion of which was read aloud by Hunt during Wednesday’s floor session.

Nebraska is one of nine states where gender-affirming health care for both youths and adults is not included in its Medicaid coverage, according to the Movement Advancement Project, which tracks laws and policies that affect the nation’s LGBTQ community.

“This, colleagues, is not serious. This is harassment,” Hunt said Wednesday on the floor. “This is using the legal system —

Megan Hunt is also quite the gun grabber . Wonder how she feels about Chunk Yogurt at TYT and the staff at NPR calling on the frozen vegetables to arm themselves against some imagined holocaust against trannies? The overwhelming majority of parents who trans their kids are Whiter then Hunter Biden's nostrils. I've heard it theorized that it's their way of assuaging their "White guilt", in a perverse way proudly putting their woke credentials on display

[joma89]

In short, megan is a child abuser.

[Fresh Wind]

Punt?

[Ann Archy]

Hey Meg......your child is a FREAK......a GODLESS FREAK!! And YOU are responsible for it!

[libertylover]

In short, megan is a child abuser.

Exactly.

[Deplorable American1776]

Senator Hunt needs to quit the Senate and focus on her (since it has a mentally ill child, maybe it doesn't know what it is) mentally ill child.

Senator Hunt, since she is a gun grabber, should change her surname, to MoronicIdiot! 🤓

[Chicory]

Seriously? Is this how you expect to make friends and influence people?

[RebelTXRose]

Wouldn’t the household have to QUALIFY for medicaid? I don’t think ANY politician would qualify. The minor child would be disqualified if parent doesn’t qualify.

Although this might NOT ever happen, I think making them aware of ethics and potential violations is a good thing.

[chopperk]

She has a mentally defective gene in her family and is trying to overcome it.

[libertymaker]

Exactly.

[faucetman]

“gender-affirming health care”

WHAT? Is THAT what you call it?

“CARE”? These people are SICK!

[gunnut]

While I don’t support the insanity she is supporting, the ethics complaint is far fetch and is using law fare in the way the libs do.
