1. Florida Fines Medicaid Providers Over Trans Treatments On Minors
The Topline: In a Morning Wire exclusive, five Medicaid healthcare plans have violated Florida’s rule against covering transgender treatments for minors. State officials have now taken the unprecedented step of issuing fines over the violation.

Quote of the Day: We don't think that this is a political issue. We think that the protection of children is one of the most core functions of government.
- Jason Weida, Secretary of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration
Florida Takes Action
Transgender surgeries and treatments for minors have been a hotly contested issue in Florida for months – earlier this year a federal judge temporarily blocked a law that banned medical providers from performing such operations on minors.
However…Other similar bans in Florida are still in place.
Last year, Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration commissioned a systematic review of the medical literature on treatments for gender dysphoria in children and determined they were not medically necessary.
In response, the administration issued a rule that went into effect last August that prohibited any state Medicaid funds from covering those types of medications or treatments for minors.
But…In December, well after the rule was in place and widely known, five Medicaid healthcare plans were discovered to be covering transgender treatments for minors anyway.
One of the violations – caught during a routine Medicaid audit – included a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old.
“One of the plans had in fact paid for a double mastectomy of a minor for the treatment of gender dysphoria,” Jason Weida, Secretary of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, told Morning Wire.
“That same plan, and a handful of other plans had also paid for drugs for the treatment of gender dysphoria … all of those things were in violation of our rule, we take this issue really seriously.”
Remember: Insurers typically face legal consequences for refusing to pay for treatment that should have been covered – it’s extremely rare to see them fined for covering things they should not have.
Weida noted that they don’t know at this point what motivated those decisions to cover the treatments anyway, but it raises the question of whether there were political motivations behind it.
Penalizing Medicaid providers is a novel approach and part of a multi-pronged effort the state of Florida has been taking to crack down on transgender-related procedures for minors.

Eure meinung zu Vivek Ramaswamy, Biotech-Unternehmer?
Kurze (bei zdf geklaute) vorstellung:
Der Pharmaunternehmer ist mit nur 37 Jahren der jüngste Bewerber - und verfügt mit einem geschätzten Vermögen von 600 Millionen Dollar über viel Geld für den Wahlkampf. Ramaswamy hat mehrere Biotech-Firmen zur Entwicklung von Medikamenten gegründet und sich in den vergangenen Jahren immer mehr der Politik zugewandt. Der Sohn indischer Einwanderer profiliert sich - ähnlich wie DeSantis - mit Angriffen auf die "woke Linke" und will einen "neuen amerikanischen Traum für die nächste Generation" erschaffen.👇👇👇

“Das RKI hat sich quasi selber eine gute Note ausgestellt, denn es war ja an der Ausgestaltung der Massnahmen beteiligt. Wir haben in der Studie jedoch eine Reihe von Fehlern gefunden, die jeder empirisch arbeitende Wissenschafter schnell entdecken sollte. In der Wissenschaft kann die Theorie immer nur behaupten, belegen muss die Empirie – das ist hier nicht passiert.”

„Lediglich virologisch interessant, aber medizinisch komplett irrelevant“ Stöhr zerlegt neue Corona-Warnung von Lauterbach & Co.
Die üblichen Verdächtigen wie Lauterbach und viele Medien schüren in alter Manier Angst vor einer neuen Variante, erste Kliniken führen die Maskenpflicht ein. Doch der Virologe Stöhr lässt dem Angst-Elefanten, der aufgeblasen wird, die Luft ab.

Anscheinend neuer Trend: Immer mehr Männer ziehen High Heels an
Einem neuen Trend nach ziehen auch Männer immer häufiger High Heels an. Was hat es damit auf sich und welche Rolle spielt Reddit dabei?
