A group of 3,000 doctors has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over a mandate that will force them to provide children with so-called "Gender affirming" care.
As a result, the group explains that doctors who take care of Medicaid patients and those who receive any type of federal funding will therefore be required to give children seeking to transition to a different sex "Gender-affirming" care.
Doctors need reassurance they won't be sued for refusing to provide potentially dangerous care.
"They have given every indication that they plan to come after doctors, like our doctors, that we're representing in this case," he added, citing a notice from the HHS's Office for Civil Rights encouraging patients and parents to file formal complaints if they believe a doctor has refused to provide them "Gender-affirming" care.
The notice specifies: "As a law enforcement agency, OCR is investigating and, where appropriate, enforcing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act cases involving discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in accordance with all applicable law."
Although many doctors are unwilling to provide this type of care because of their personal convictions, there are also some very valid medical reasons for their refusal.
