In December, the Health and Human Services Department proposed a new rule that would strip federal Medicare and Medicaid funding for hospitals that provide &#8220;sex\u2011rejecting procedures&#8221; for children under the age of 18.<\/p>\n<p>NYU Langone Health, one of New York City&#8217;s largest hospital networks, said the change was due to what hospital officials cited as the &#8220;current regulatory environment.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, lawyers for the San Diego hospital argued in court that continuing the treatments for minors, even temporarily, could expose it to immediate risk and threaten its Medicaid and Medicare funding \u2014 a critical revenue source given Rady&#8217;s status as Southern California\u2019s largest children&#8217;s health care provider.<\/p>\n<p>Braner acknowledged after hearing from both parties that Rady and other hospitals likely feel caught &#8220;between a rock and a hard place&#8221; amid heightened scrutiny from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Still, he said concerns about losing funding could be quickly addressed if that scenario unfolds. &#8220;We\u2019ll clear our calendar, and we\u2019ll have a hearing within 24 hours of any notice&#8221; from HHS, he said, according to local news outlets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/100-days-injunctions-trials-teflon-don-trump-second-term-meets-its-biggest-tests-court\"><strong>100 DAYS OF INJUNCTIONS, TRIALS AND &#8216;TEFLON DON&#8217;: TRUMP SECOND TERM MEETS ITS BIGGEST TESTS IN COURT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The reassurances from the judge, whose extension is slated to last through March 15, did little to assuage Rady&#8217;s lawyers, who cited the risks of noncompliance and told the judge that even in a short window, continuing the treatments could pose a &#8220;catastrophic risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The legal back-and-forth comes as more than 40 hospitals in the U.S. have so far restricted such treatments for minors, in compliance with the administration&#8217;s guidance, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2026\/02\/05\/hospitals-stop-gender-care-minors-trump-administration-pressure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data<\/a> compiled by STAT News earlier this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Given the recent departure of our medical director, coupled with the current regulatory environment, we made the difficult decision to discontinue our Transgender Youth Health Program,&#8221; NYU Langone officials said in a statement this week announcing the hospital was ending transgender treatment for minors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are committed to helping patients in our care manage this change. This does not impact our pediatric mental health care programs, which will continue,&#8221; the hospital said.<\/p>\n<p>Officials at Rady in San Diego previously announced the hospital would also stop treatments for minors in accordance with the Trump administration&#8217;s guidance.
