Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra admitted during a congressional hearing on Wednesday that hospitals with religious objections to transgender mutilation will lose federal funding.
“Can you commit here today that your department will not withhold federal funding from hospitals or doctors who refuse to provide the gender-affirming care that you are, you know, mandating, if it violates their religious beliefs?” Republican Rep. Mary Miller, chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, asked Becerra.
Becerra ignored the question and scolded Miller for asking it.
“You’re going somewhere completely different. First, you started talking about how a doctor should have the rights to not offer particular care. Then you stretch it out to provide for the system-wide services. Very different,” Becerra said.

Undeterred by Becerra’s obfuscating, Miller pressed the Biden appointee further.
“You put out this guidance and doctors need to know what are you going to do if they refuse to provide this care?” Miller asked again.
Becerra claimed doctors with “religious objections” to cutting off the breasts and genitals of physically healthy people are protected under conscience objection rules and are “not required” to wreak irreversible damage on bodies.
The Biden administration, however, has worked overtime to undo these protections. Under President Joe Biden, health-care workers whose conscience rights were verifiably violated could not secure legal recourse. Sometimes they were forced to either leave their job or violate their faith to stay employed.
“So you’re committing here today that you will not withhold federal funding?” Miller asked.
“Doctors don’t get federal funding, ma’am,” Beccera replied.
“But the hospitals do,” Miller noted. “Doctors are working in these hospitals.”
Despite Becerra’s dodging, Miller asked again if the Biden administration would punish “health-care facilities” by withholding federal funding if they refused to participate in transing children and adults.
It was only then that the secretary admitted hospitals that fail to carry out the regime’s agenda will suffer financial retaliation from the federal government.
“If a health-care facility is violating the law and not providing the service they are required to, they are not entitled to federal funding,” Becerra said.
Becerra’s confession comes mere weeks after HHS finalized a rule amending President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act to prohibit providers that benefit from taxpayer funds from denying ill-named “care” such as chemical castration and transgender mutilation to anyone. Just about every large health-care provider accepts federal funds through programs such as Medicaid and Medicare.
A growing number of people — especially children — who undergo social or physical “transitions,” such as adopting false pronouns, undergoing mutilation, or taking sterilizing drugs, suffer harrowing, life-threatening consequences. Yet Democrats have made extremist gender ideology and all of its consequences a hallmark of their bureaucratic agenda.

Divine justice is coming soon.
The one thing that keeps me and a lot of others, going.
no quarter for predators
And some people ask why anyone would be opposed to “universal healthcare”.
If the Dems win the House, Senate and Presidency imagine the long list of mandatory actions people will have to do.
Too bad even the independents and fence sitters can’t look a little ahead at the horrors of life coming up.
It cannot come soon enough.
Sometimes I wonder if it would really be wrong at all to "help" God mete out justice. He gave us America and its blessings after all. Seems like if we cherish that enough we would take it upon ourselves to remove these people from the power they have over us. By any means necessary.
Mathew 24 16, when you see the abomination that causes desolation... This might be it
IMHO, that will be the Antichrist setting up an image (idol?)
to himself in the Holy of Holies in a rebuilt 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. Seemingly impossible at this point.
And then the False Prophet brings the idol to life so that it may speak, and then the False Prophet forces the Mark of the Beast upon everyone but soon-to-be Tribulation Saints.
HOWEVER, this godless reprobate delusion is certainly a precursor to the coming Strong Delusion.
People believing in absolute lies - chromosomes don’t lie. /preaching to the choir
There are a few biological freaks - they are few and far between. These people are pushing an agenda that flies in the face of Almighty God. Stupidity on steroids.
God bless you
I’m sure you guys have seen this one, but if not........

Now, we’re seeing things that ought not be seen
No institution or company that does business with the government can legitimately hold a “religious exemption” over any matters.
Not soon enough for the psychotic cult of transgenderism.
I really hope Trump wins. Have Paxton as AG and turn him loose on all of Biden’s secretaries and Soros’ bought and paid for attorneys.
Who is paying for these monstrous attacks on self? Who is enabling and promoting this horrible mental chaos?
Federal funding ... everyone’s got to have that. Here where I live there’s a day care “crisis”. Employees aren’t being paid enough partly because some federal funding is ending.
Trans surgery is the twenty-first’s century’s lobotomy. The people who do it and who condone it will be considered by the future in the same way as those who practiced lobotomies.
