WTW90: Kaiser Permanente "PAUSED" Their Pediatric Gender-Affirming Surgery Practice For Basically No Reason.
Manage episode 504109445 series 3487358
Kaiser issued the most infuriating statement last month announcing that they were "pausing" their gender-affirming surgeries for patients 19 and under. Why in the world did they do this when the majority of Kaiser members are in California - a protective state for the transgender community and one of the most likely states to stand up to the Trump administration? Lydia breaks down what happened, who has been speaking out, and a particular theory about why Kaiser Permanente might have made this decision.
