The ruling applies to the state's $38 billion Medicaid program, and affects the approximately 9,000 people who are transgender and enrolled in it.
In a significant ruling, a federal judge has struck down the Florida regulations supported by Gov. Ron DeSantis that aimed to restrict Medicaid coverage for transgender treatments.
Hinkle emphasized the authenticity of gender identity, stating unequivocally that"gender identity is real. Those whose gender identity does not match their natal sex often suffer gender dysphoria," and that the ban on Medicaid coverage for hormone therapy or"puberty blockers" constituted a violation of the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution.
While the lawsuit involved two adults and two minors, advocacy groups argue that the outcome could have implications for thousands of individuals, as the ruling applies to the Medicaid program of the state, which has a value of $38 billion, and affects the approximately 9,000 individuals who are transgender and enrolled in the program.
