Yet, a federal court disagreed today and ruled in Florida's favor.
@AHCA_FL
remains committed to ensuring Florida Medicaid only covers treatments deemed safe and effective. See the court's ruling below:
Accredited medical professional groups agree that gender-affirming care is medically necessary, safe, and effective for trans and non-binary youth. States should translate this knowledge into more compassionate policies that protect rather than undermine youth mental health.

With each passing day the
@US_FDA
inaction continues to appear to be a ruse to protect the pharmaceutical industry perceived "power" over patients. High prescription drug prices have long been a significant drain on state budgets and a scourge on the neediest individuals.
The FDA has unreasonably delayed approval of our Canadian Prescription Drug Importation Program – which lowers prescription drug costs for Floridians. It was approved by Trump in 2020, and today we filed a lawsuit to end the FDA delay.
We have had enough of Biden's bureaucracy.
