Nineteen states and D.C. sued Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his health department to block the Trump administration's plan to curb young people's gender-affirming care.
Why it matters: Kennedy announced last week he would stop Medicare and Medicaid payments to any provider offering gender-affirming care to minors, a move the Oregon-led lawsuit says "exceeds the Secretary's authority and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Medicare and Medicaid statutes."
