2026年1月,威斯康星州两家医院停止了对未成年人的性别确认护理,因为新的联邦规则威胁削减医疗补助。 Two Wisconsin hospitals halted gender-affirming care for minors in Jan. 2026 due to new federal rules threatening Medicaid cuts.

自2026年1月起,威斯康星州两个主要医院“威斯康星州儿童医院”和“UW健康医院”暂停了对未成年人的性别确认护理,包括青春期阻塞器和荷尔蒙疗法。 Two major Wisconsin hospitals, Children's Wisconsin and UW Health, have paused gender-affirming care for minors, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy, starting in January 2026. 这一行动遵循了2025年12月卫生与公众服务秘书Robert F. Kennedy Jr.宣布的新的联邦规则,该规则威胁削减向18岁以下病人提供此类治疗的提供方提供的医疗保健和医疗补助资金。 The move follows new federal rules announced in December 2025 by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which threaten to cut Medicare and Medicaid funding for providers offering such treatments to patients under 18. 医院列举了监管和金融风险,尽管它们继续为男女同性恋、双性恋和变性青年提供心理健康支持。 The hospitals cited regulatory and financial risks, though they continue to offer mental health support for LGBTQ+ youth. 这一决定引发了法律挑战,威斯康辛州和其他州反对联邦指令,并引起医疗团体和倡导团体对变性青年健康和福祉的影响表示关切。 The decision has sparked legal challenges, with Wisconsin and other states opposing the federal directive, and raised concerns among medical and advocacy groups about the impact on transgender youth's health and well-being.
