众议院呼吁继续禁止对变性青年外科手术进行TRICARE覆盖, House appeals to uphold ban on TRICARE coverage for transgender youth surgeries, sparking debate.

美国众议院已提出上诉,支持《国防授权法》,该法限制TRICARE对军人子女进行确认性别的外科手术。 The U.S. House of Representatives has filed an appeal to support the National Defense Authorization Act, which restricts TRICARE coverage for gender-affirming surgeries for the children of military members. 在缅因州的一项诉讼之后, 一名退伍军人的变性女儿质疑TRICARE拒绝为她的手术服务。 This move follows a lawsuit in Maine where a veteran's transgender daughter is challenging TRICARE's refusal to cover her surgeries. 众议院议长Mike Johnson认为,税金不应该用来资助可能伤害年轻人的程序,而民主党人则试图从《全国民主与发展协会》中取消这项禁令。 House Speaker Mike Johnson argues that tax dollars should not fund procedures that could harm young people, while Democrats seek to remove the ban from the NDAA.
