A “trans-inclusive” health care bill that would further entrench so-called gender-affirming care in California has passed the Assembly Health Committee, moving it further along in the legislative process despite widespread concern, especially about its application to children.
Senate Bill 923 would all force all health insurers, including Medi-Cal and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) organizations, to make staff complete “evidence-based cultural competency training” to provide trans-inclusive health care to patients who identify as transgender, gender diverse, or intersex (TGI).
