Senator Roger Marshall on Thursday will introduce a measure to keep taxpayer dollars from going toward transgender medical procedures on both children and adults.
The Kansas Republican’s bill, the “No Subsidies for Gender Transition Procedures Act,” would ensure that transgender medical procedures — such as removing the breasts of girls who identify boys — would not be considered healthcare under IRS code. The Kansas Republican told The Daily Wire that he designed the bill specifically with an eye towards including it in the “one, big, beautiful” bill backed by President Donald Trump working its way through Congress.
“Americans overwhelmingly agree that hard-earned taxpayer dollars should not go toward paying for gender transition procedures,” Marshall said.
“This legislation delivers on President Trump’s promise to end federal funding of harmful gender transition procedures, defends our nation’s values, and ends the misuse of federal funds for radical medical procedures. As the reconciliation process continues, I urge my colleagues to support this commonsense legislation and ensure it is included in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.”
Marshall pointed to the proposal’s focus on amending the tax code and mandatory spending as reasons why it should fall under Trump’s “beautiful bill proposal.”
One major component of the bill would be to prohibit transgender procedures being funded with dollars from Medicaid, Medicare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This would mean no more taxpayer funding for procedures like removing the breasts of women identifying as men or surgeries to create pseudo-male and female genitalia.
