Breaking News: RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz Announce Nationwide Restrictions on Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Medicare and Medicaid Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz are set to announce new restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors at a press conference today at 11 a.m. at the Department of Health and Human Services headquarters.

The measures, expected to be announced by Kennedy Jr. and Oz, will effectively ban gender-affirming care for transgender young people in states where it is still legal. This move comes after two proposed rules for hospitals were reported in October, which are now expected to be announced today.

The restrictions are expected to have an immediate impact on the lives of thousands of transgender minors and their families. The exact details of the measures are still unclear, but sources indicate that they will be significant.

The announcement is a culmination of efforts by the Trump administration to restrict access to gender-affirming care. The move has been met with criticism from the medical community and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

The press conference is set to take place at 11 a.m. today, and officials from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institutes of Health are expected to be in attendance.

This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
