The bill, proposed by Janae Shamp of the Arizona senate, would have required healthcare professionals to cover the costs of care for patients who choose to detransition.
Arizona’s governor, Katie Hobbs, has vetoed a bill that would have required any doctor who provides so-called gender-affirming care to cover the medical costs for patients who later choose to detransition. The bill also would have applied to insurance companies and health care institutions.
In her veto, Ms. Hobbs cited the bill as “unnecessary” and one that “would create a privacy risk for patients.”
The bill was proposed in February by a Republican state senator, Janae Shamp, in an effort to protect those who undergo gender-transitioning procedures and later regret their decisions.
Ms. Shamp, whose political campaign centers around her background as a nurse, cited her medical experience as a major motivation behind providing patients with the option to detransition.
“We can’t not take care of patients. This is health care. These are individuals who are going through something that is very difficult and then they are getting dropped off when they don’t follow along with the political ideology, and that is absolutely wrong,” she said in the bill’s proposal.

What a porker she is. What a hogg.
She is an evil shank.
Gov. Hobbs?
Maybe the bill won’t pass now, but perhaps it can be revived later and with a veto proof majority.
Once trans, always trans. Is that the official position?
Yeah, well, once you cut it off or sew it shut, what would you expect?
“What a porker she is. What a hogg.”
And likely the result of yet another stolen election.
The crazies work hard to recruit.
Proof that the left’s obsession with sexual perversion is a one way street is their demonic reaction to people going FROM perversion TO normal.
It simply cannot be tolerated. The only decision people can make is TO perversion not FROM it.
They absolutely HATE people choosing to do anything according to God’s design.
Yes, they hate people, but ultimately, God is the object of their hate. It show in all their favorite perversions.
We’ll be paying up to twice as much.
TRANSITION SURGERY CONSENT FORM
I, the patient, agree that this surgery is undoubtedly appropriate based on considerable reflection and consultation with medical professionals.
I agree to hold all providers and related parties harmless and will not defame any of them by requesting detransitioning or funding for that.
I’m pretty sure that IS pretty close to what the consent form is like. No way the doctors aren’t going to cover their bases when dealing with an 18 to 25 year old patient with mental health issues.
The DemonRats have put a lot of effort and money (taxpayer’s) into promoting this mental illness.
They can’t have their project pets backsliding towards normalcy.
When you wack….. you can’t grow it back…
Crazies walk into the quacks’ offices.
The quacks just hang out their shingles.
Let the crazies complain loudly after they got what they wanted (normally at others’ expense) until their dying day.
Dr. BitHackQuack went to medical school, passed the USMLE and got board certified.
a cunning shank at that
Yes, how can they transition back, when it’s been sliced off? I heard the suicide rate is high among them. I am not surprised, since transitioning doesn’t make them happy like they thought it would.
Shank=skank. Auto correct
The scorecard is becoming so confusing. The bill sounds reasonable but in the end, there will be a lot of accountability in the lawsuits headed their way... for the doctors, the insurance companies, the parents and the governments.
