| Dear Chapter Leader, As you likely saw, early in the morning on May 22nd, while most of the country slept, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a budget package that makes many changes to Medicaid, including eliminating coverage for transgender youth and HIV coverage, and restricts SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. The bill also excises transgender healthcare as an EHB (essential health benefit) for plans available on state exchanges under the Affordable Care Act. This bill would force millions of families—including PFLAG families—to choose between paying for healthcare, food, or housing each month. It especially impacts every family who relies on Medicaid for healthcare, from HIV prevention and treatment, to transgender healthcare, to general well-being. |
