The Florida Department of Health has issued an advisory to ignore all Federal and medically-approved guidelines and stop providing gender-affirming care to transgender minors. Part of Governor Ron DeSantis' administration has used that advisory in its request to a state medical board to ban all transition-related healthcare to minors. The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration released a report on June 2nd citing debunked research in an attempt to block Medicaid coverage for any transgender individual from seeking care covered under the government insurance. In a letter to the Florida Board of Medicine, the State Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo stated, "The current standards set by numerous professional organizations appear to follow a preferred political ideology instead of the highest level of generally accepted medical science. Florida must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine. Otherwise, children and adolescents in our state will continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm."
