- Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra said that the Biden administration wanted to use a taxpayer-funded insurance program for children to fund sex changes.
- “Is the president serious — he wants to take our Childhood Health Insurance Program and pay for this?” Republican Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland asked Becerra during a Tuesday hearing held by the House Appropriations Committee about the Biden administration’s budget request for fiscal year 2024, referring to “gender-affirming” treatment of children that has been restricted by several states, including Tennessee.
- “If it is a simple question, then I will tell you the simple answer is we want to make sure everyone in America has access to the health care that they need,” Becerra said.
