Trump To Defund Hospitals?

Here’s what Trump is doing.

President Donald J. Trump is following through on a key campaign promise to protect children from irreversible gender procedures—and he’s doing it by hitting hospitals where it hurts: federal funding.

Medicaid and CHIP Funds on the Line

According to National Review, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is preparing to implement a new rule that would block Medicaid and CHIP dollars from being used for gender-transition treatments in children. This includes puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change surgeries—all procedures many Americans find deeply disturbing when performed on minors.

Hospitals that accept Medicare or Medicaid—programs that are largely funded by taxpayers—will be barred from providing these controversial procedures to children under the proposed guidelines.

Trump Defends Parental Rights and Traditional Values

This action directly supports Trump’s executive order signed on January 28: “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.” It reflects growing concern from parents, doctors, and policy experts about what the Left calls “gender-affirming care”—a term that many argue masks the serious and sometimes permanent harm being done to vulnerable youth.

A recent internal HHS study revealed that support for these treatments is based on “very weak evidence” and may cause irreversible damage to children’s physical and mental health. For many families, this isn’t about politics—it’s about protecting parental rights, common sense, and American values.

Public Opinion Strongly Supports Trump’s Action

Poll after poll shows that the vast majority of Americans—including independent and Democrat voters—oppose biological males competing in female sports and reject gender-transition procedures for minors. Despite this, left-wing activists and Democrat lawmakers continue to push a radical agenda that disregards science and parental authority.

Trump’s move isn’t just political—it’s deeply moral. He’s standing up for families, for truth, and for the next generation.

Conservative Leaders Applaud the Move

OutKick, a prominent conservative platform, summed it up best: adults can do what they want—but children must be protected, and men cannot become women. The idea that minors are being encouraged to permanently alter their bodies is unacceptable to most Americans.

President Trump understands this. He was elected to fight against radicalism, restore sanity, and put the rights of parents and the well-being of children first.
