Texas is suing the Biden administration in an attempt to keep over a billion dollars in federal funding it could lose for investigating the families of transgender children.
Texas is worried it could lose over a billion dollars in federal funding over Gov.
’s directive requiring medical professionals to report transgender children receiving gender-affirming health care as potential child abuse.amended an existing lawsuit suing the Biden administration Wednesday, attempting to void guidance issued by the U.S.
The federal guidance stated that health care providers do not need to disclose private patient information regarding gender-affirming care and that it is illegal to deny health care based on gender identity. Paxton, in the lawsuit, said that guidance is based on “erroneous interpretation of sex discrimination.” The lawsuit says Texas does not aim to deny health care based on gender identity. Instead, the state argues its investigations disregard gender entirely, barring all children from “unnecessary medical interventions.”
In 2020, $1.36 billion in federal funds went to Texas’ Department of State Health Services, Paxton said in the lawsuit. More than $26 billion went to the State’s Health and Human Services Commission.
