A recent lawsuit filed in Baltimore federal court is challenging the Trump administration's ban on transgender treatments for minors. Legal expert Sarah Marshall Perry of the Heritage Foundation warns that this lawsuit is just the beginning of potential legal battles in the coming months.
Perry highlighted the significant financial stakes involved, estimating the industry to be worth $5 billion annually. She suggested that proponents of gender-affirming medical care may seek coverage through private insurers like Cigna or Blue Cross Blue Shield, leveraging their substantial lobbying power.
