A group of 16 state attorneys general has commented on Florida’s decision to block Medicaid funding for transgender medical procedures, citing their experimental nature.
In a brief exclusively provided to The Daily Signal, the 16 Republican attorneys general assert that since the country’s founding, states have exercised their authority to regulate the medical profession, prohibit access to potentially dangerous drugs, and forbid unsafe or untested treatments.
The attorneys general intend to defend Florida’s right to formulate its own healthcare policy, cautioning that if the court impairs this right, it will jeopardize the sovereignty of other states as well.
