Lauren Boebert Outraged Trans Health Care New Law
The new law isn’t specifically about gender-affirming care, but Boebert made it all about trans people.
The recent development in California, where a law enacted on January 1st, has become a topic of debate. The law permits undocumented immigrants to access a range of healthcare services, including gender-affirming surgeries. This decision has garnered criticism, with one notable comment stating, “California is now paying for illegal aliens to get sex changes,” highlighting the state’s unique approach. The comment further added, “There’s no punchline to this tweet. California is the punchline.” This reflects the controversial nature of the law in the public discourse.

California is the punchline.
The federal law’s stance against discrimination based on gender identity in healthcare plays a significant role here. This federal guideline has led many states, including California, to interpret it as a requirement to provide Medicaid beneficiaries with access to gender-affirming healthcare. This interpretation has sparked legal challenges in states that have sought to restrict such healthcare access.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has praised the law, calling it “a transformative step towards strengthening the health care system for all Californians.” The law’s scope is broad, extending beyond just gender-affirming care, to enhance the overall Medicaid program in the state.
The state’s approach to health insurance coverage is particularly notable, given that around seven percent of California residents are uninsured, including many undocumented immigrants who contribute to the state’s tax revenues. California had previously extended health coverage to undocumented children in 2015 and to those over 50 years of age.
Oregon, too, has passed a law similar to California’s in the last year.
Amidst these developments, some observers have noted the irony in the criticism leveled at California, especially considering the personal controversies of some of the critics.
