Florida's bans on Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming health care amount to "invidious discrimination" and were politically motivated, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
Why it matters: U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle declared the rules are unconstitutional and violate federal law. That means that all transgender Floridians who qualify for Medicaid should now be able to seek coverage of their gender-affirming care, plaintiff's attorney Simone Chriss told Axios.
