AG Raoul co-led a coalition of 22 states in challenging the Trump administration’s attempt to prohibit states from using federal Medicaid funds for gender-affirming care for low-income minors and some young adults. 

“At a time when our country faces a true healthcare crisis due to spiraling costs of care, a shortage of providers, and rural hospital closures leaving communities with no providers for miles, the Trump administration is attempting to score political points by continuing to threaten healthcare for a very small and vulnerable population. […] I remain firmly committed to advocating for the rights of transgender youth and to protecting all Illinoisans from unlawful federal interference in their healthcare choices.” – AG Raoul
