- −Hospitals & Health Systemsconfidence 0.90

- −Pharmaceuticalsconfidence 0.90

- −Medical Devicesconfidence 0.85
The ban on federal Medicaid funding for procedures such as chest implants, testicular prostheses, and fat/artificial implants in the gluteal region (Section 2(b)(KK)(A)(ii)-(iii)) directly impacts medical device manufacturers whose products are used in these gender transition procedures for minors.
