The Trump administration is weighing cutting off funds to hospitals that it says provide gender-related treatments for children and teenagers, a move that would sharply escalate officials’ scrutiny of such programs.
The potential for increased federal scrutiny on gender-related healthcare comes after a 30-day deadline passed Saturday for nine children’s hospitals to respond to letters from Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator and celebrity physician known as Dr. Oz. The former heart surgeon and television host demanded data related to sex-reassignment surgeries, hormone therapy and puberty blockers.
“President Trump has been clear: America will protect kids from life-altering and experimental procedures,” Oz said. “CMS has warned hospitals and state Medicaid programs about these dangers—and is taking regulatory enforcement actions.”
Three hospitals—in Boston, Los Angeles and Seattle—told CMS they would respond to the probe, but none have yet sent the agency data, a Department of Health and Human Services official said. Two other hospitals, in Colorado and Ohio, told The Wall Street Journal they are planning to respond.
Though Oz’s letter didn’t threaten specific actions against the hospitals, CMS officials said they believe they have authority to stop funds for gender treatments for children and teenagers through Medicaid and Marketplace insurance plans. The agency is reviewing its authority to kick hospitals out of Medicaid altogether if they don’t cease providing the surgeries, the CMS officials said.
Many children’s hospitals are financially dependent on Medicaid.
CMS sets conditions that hospitals must meet in order to participate in Medicare and Medicaid, including health and safety standards.
At least one of the hospitals that received a letter, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles, is closing its program offering gender-related care to children and specifically cited the CMS inquiry in its announcement.

Good. It's wrong to block the normal growth of a child and to hack off body parts. Most WSJ commenters support Trump's action.
How about for hospitals not picking up the phone for ICE when appropriate?
Yeah. Neither do I.

“mooselimbs mandating gender mutilation”
Wow, I totally forgot about that! You’re right. The blatant double standard is alive and well.
What is there to weigh? He should have done this WEEKS ago.
The Memory Hole is Leftists’ favorite orifice.
Notice how the communist vermin at The Wall Street Journal refer to child genital mutilation as “gender care”?
Yes, These doctors horrifically butchering innocent young children are demons.
I thought the same thing. What a headline! Yes, please come in and let us mutilate you...you know...because it’s healthCARE. Ridiculous.
Another great idea!! Go for it!!
It’s not “gender care”. The term has no meaning. Gender doesn’t get sick. People get sick. People get sick in the head and think that their body didn’t come out right and doesn’t match the sex that their head thinks they are.
“Yes, These doctors horrifically butchering innocent young children are demons.”
Yes, rightful direct line successors to Doktor Josef Mengele, late of Auschwitz fame. In his honor the procedures should be called “Mengelization.”
That doesn’t mean those hospitals will stop transgender surgeries and meds on kids. What they will likely do is cut legitimate expenditures on those patients who really need medical help so they can spend that money on transgendering kids.
Cut funding?
Any adult involved in it should receive the death penalty.
Do it!
It’s child abuse of the worst kind!
Rope. Millstone. Body of water.
Some assembly required.
And just like that, the picture suddenly disappeared.....
