特朗普政府终止青少年跨性别治疗联邦资助
特朗普政府终止青少年性别确认治疗的联邦资助，同时医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）负责人穆罕默德·奥兹博士警告称该疗法存在严重的长期健康风险。认证整形外科医生艾拉·萨韦茨基博士加入安斯利·厄哈特的节目，对这一举措表示赞赏，理由是针对数千名未成年人实施的不可逆手术缺乏临床证据。
福克斯新闻独家报道： 副总统JD万斯呼吁司法部调查一则重磅的卫生与公众服务部（HHS）报告，该报告指控部分医院和医疗服务机构欺诈性地让儿童接受利润丰厚的变性手术。
这份题为《穿白大褂的狼：医生和医院如何推动“性别医学”欺诈并从中牟利》的新报告披露，2015年至2025年间，针对13岁及以下青少年的青春期阻断剂等治疗的保险理赔金额超过6000万美元。
根据卫生与公众服务部的说法，部分医疗服务机构对出现荷尔蒙问题、内分泌系统疾病或性早熟的儿童积极实施跨性别治疗，并向保险公司申请理赔。该部门还将性别手术覆盖范围扩大归咎于拜登政府时期推广跨性别治疗的政策。

福克斯新闻数字频道获得了万斯致司法部长托德·布兰奇的一封信，信中详述了万斯对这份报告的担忧，并呼吁对任何故意误导儿童接受跨性别治疗的人提起刑事诉讼。
“一项研究显示，被诊断为‘未特指内分泌疾病’的患者中，仅有约4.7%确实患有该病症，”万斯在给布兰奇的信中写道。“另一项研究指出，尽管儿科内分泌疾病不太可能出现大幅增长，但内分泌疾病诊断数量却增加了30%。”
报告显示，未成年人的平均医疗费用约为3000美元，但不包含手术的跨性别治疗费用可升至7.5万美元，若涉及手术则接近17万美元。
报告还详细说明了部分医疗服务机构如何从终身医疗费用中获利，包括未成年人成年后多年的处方药物、手术和医疗干预费用。
全美约有225家医院和医疗系统设立了儿科性别项目。万斯在给布兰奇的信中指控，医疗服务机构故意向保险公司提交误诊信息，使用计费代码迫使保险公司覆盖相关费用。

“如果医疗服务机构为了让保险公司覆盖原本不覆盖的性别确认干预治疗而错误编码，他们应该承担责任，”万斯在信中写道。“如果他们故意为之，从而对医疗补助计划或私人保险公司实施欺诈，他们应该入狱。”
“我们不能任由有害的、否定性别的手术在儿童身上泛滥，必须明确传达一个信号：任何参与此类行为的医院和医疗服务机构都将面临法律制裁。”
卫生与公众服务部的报告引用了同行评审的科学文献、医院记录、举报人证词、全国范围的保险理赔数据分析以及对患者和家长的采访。

2021年乔·拜登总统就职数小时后，他签署了第13988号行政命令，题为《防止和惩治基于性别认同或性取向的歧视》。

“儿童应该能够在不必担心被拒绝使用卫生间、更衣室或参加学校体育活动的情况下学习，”该行政命令写道。“人们应该能够获得医疗保健、拥有住所，而不会遭受性别歧视。”
该行政命令的要求开始生效，2021年5月，拜登政府的卫生与公众服务部表示，其民权办公室将执行《平价医疗法案》中的反歧视条款，其中包括性别歧视相关内容。
在2022年3月的通知中，该部门“明确”确认“未成年人的性别确认护理在医学上适当且必要时，能够改善他们的身心健康。”

福克斯新闻数字频道还获得了卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪致该部门监察长托马斯·马奇·贝尔的一封信，信中列出了一长串医院和临床医生名单，肯尼迪称这些机构存在“潜在异常的计费模式”。
报告呼吁对允许医院和临床医生提交性别医学治疗理赔的保险编码做法进行额外审查。

JD Vance calls on DOJ to prosecute alleged fraud in teen transgender treatment

The report alleges hospitals pushed gender dysphoria diagnoses on minors to file over $50M in puberty blocker claims

Trump admin ends federal funding for youth trans treatments
The Trump administration ends federal funding for youth gender transition treatments as CMS Chief Dr. Mehmet Oz warns of serious long-term health risks. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ira Savetsky joins Ainsley Earhardt to applaud the move, citing a lack of clinical evidence for irreversible surgeries performed on thousands of minors.
FIRST ON FOX: Vice President JD Vance is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate a bombshell Health and Human Services (HHS) report alleging some hospitals and healthcare providers fraudulently subjected children to lucrative sex-change procedures.
The new report, titled: “Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of ‘Gender Medicine,’” revealed more than $60 million in insurance claims for treatments including puberty blockers for adolescents as young as 13 billed from 2015 to 2025.
According to HHS, some providers aggressively treated children who presented with hormonal issues, endocrine system problems, or early onset puberty with transgender care, billing insurance companies. HHS also blamed Biden-era policies promoting transgender treatments for expanding access gender surgery coverage.

Fox News Digital obtained a letter from Vance to Attorney General Todd Blanche which detailed Vance’s concerns surrounding the report, and called for criminal prosecution of anyone who has intentionally misled children to get transgender treatment.
“One study showed that only about 4.7 percent of patients diagnosed with “endocrine disorder, unspecified,” had that actual condition,” Vance wrote in the letter to Blanche. “Another notes a 30 percent increase in the number of endocrine disorder diagnoses, despite it being unlikely that that there has been a substantial increase in pediatric endocrine disorders.”
The average healthcare cost for a minor is roughly $3,000, but transgender treatments can push that to $75,000 without surgery and nearly $170,000, if surgery is involved, according to the report.
The report also details how some healthcare providers profit from life-long medical costs, including prescriptions, surgeries and medical interventions years after a minor reaches adulthood.
About 225 hospitals and health systems across the country have established pediatric gender programs. Vance charged in his letter to Blanche that health care providers knowingly pushed their misdiagnoses to insurance companies, using billing codes to compel coverage.

“When providers miscode treatment in order to secure insurance coverage for gender-transitioning interventions that insurance would not otherwise cover, they should be held accountable,” read Vance’s letter. “If they have done so intentionally, thereby perpetrating a fraud on Medicaid or on private insurers, they should go to prison.”
“Rather than allow the proliferation of harmful, sex-rejecting procedures on our children, we must send a clear message that any hospitals and providers that have participated in these practices will face justice.”
The HHS report cited peer-reviewed scientific literature, hospital records, whistleblower testimony, nationwide insurance claims analyses and interviews with patients and parents.

Hours after President Joe Biden was sworn into office in 2021, he signed Executive Order 13988, titled: “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.”

“Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports,” the executive order read. “People should be able to access healthcare and secure a roof over their heads without being subjected to sex discrimination.”
The executive order’s mandate took effect, and in May of 2021, Biden’s HHS said its Office of Civil Rights would enforce an Affordable Care Act nondiscrimination provision, which includes sex discrimination.
In a March 2022 notice, the department “unequivocally” confirmed “that gender affirming care for minors, when medically appropriate and necessary, improves their physical and mental health.”

In a separate executive order signed by Biden in June of 2022, Biden directed the federal government, including his HHS, to “address the discrimination and barriers that LGBTQI+ individuals and families face by expanding access to comprehensive health care.”

Fox News Digital also obtained a letter from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to HHS Inspector General Thomas March Bell that included a sizable list of individual hospitals and clinicians that Kennedy says exhibit “potentially anomalous billing patterns.”
The report calls for additional review of insurance coding practices that enable hospitals and clinicians to file claims for gender medicine.
