Gender-Affirming CARE Act
This bill authorizes $25 million annually from 2024 to 2029 for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to study barriers to gender-affirming care and how those barriers affect health outcomes. It does not change existing healthcare access or services but focuses solely on research funding. The research aims to identify obstacles faced by individuals seeking gender-affirming care and their health impacts. This funding is in addition to existing appropriations for similar purposes.
