Look, if Trump gets to unilaterally rename the “Department of Defense” the “Department of War,” then I think we can all get to collectively-unilaterally rename HHS the “Department of Disease.”

CMS is saying they can do this because this care is not "healthcare" and thus they aren't regulating practice of medicine... seems like a slippery slope? what stops them from next saying abortion isn't healthcare?
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
