Taxpayers spent more than $148,000 for “irreversible sex change interventions” on children in Nevada via managed Medicaid between the years 2019 and 2023.
That’s according to a national database released today of hospitals and medical facilities “administering irreversible sex change interventions on children in the United States” by the organization Do No Harm.
The database shows that hospitals in Nevada saw 96 minors who were “sex change patients,” including 39 total surgery patients. These hospitals administered “hormone and puberty blockers” to 58 total children and wrote 453 prescriptions. In all, it totaled $515,308 in total submitted charges.
18 of these interventions were paid for by the managed Medicaid program for $133,967.13 in submitted charges, and one was paid for by Medicare Advantage for $14,901. That’s $148,868.13 in taxpayer funding.
Do No Harm said the database “catalogs pediatric sex change-related services, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, at U.S.-based medical facilities between 2019 and 2023.”
The data represents sources including “claims clearinghouses, data aggregators, payors, health systems, CMS, and multiple open data sources,” according to Do No Harm, and includes data from commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and VA claims.”
University Medical Center (UMC) in Las Vegas had the most submitted charges among Nevada hospitals, according to the database. The hospital saw 15 “sex change” patients, who were children, from 2019 to 2023, including 12 surgery patients and 3 total “hormone and puberty blocker” patients. There were 24 total prescriptions written. In all, it amounted to $128,148 in total submitted charges.
Founded in 1931, UMC is the state’s only public, nonprofit hospital. It is located in Las Vegas and operates as the principal teaching hospital for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Medicine. The hospital provides Level I trauma services for adults and Level II trauma care for children. The hospital also features a burn care center and offers various specialized medical services, including transplant and stroke care. It serves both Clark County residents and visitors, and it is governed by the Clark County Commission.
The issue of taxpayer funding of these procedures has gained national attention as Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is in a dead heat with former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, has openly advocated for “transgender” surgeries for illegal immigrants and prisoners.
In 2017, then-President Trump rescinded an Obama-era “guidance” to public schools to allow “transgender” students to use the bathrooms of their choice. Obama had threatened “to withhold funding for schools that did not comply” with his guidance — a move that was undone by Trump. U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) opposed Trump’s move, according to a press release.
Cortez Masto’s junior colleague, U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), was president of a Las Vegas synagogue that invited a drag queen to preside over services and discussed drag and transgender ideology with children, according to Fox News. The synagogue, Congregation Ner Tamid, held an event called “Rainbow Shabbat – Don’t Be A Drag, Just Be A Queen/Torah Study.”
Chloe Cole, a senior fellow at Do No Harm, said the database “proves the lies from the medical establishment and radical politicians who argue that cases like mine are rare.”
A 20-year-old woman who said that she had “gender dysphoria” was given “puberty blockers,” testosterone and had a double mastectomy at age 12, Cole has since “de-transitioned” and supports bans on the chemical castration of minors.
“The stats in this database represent thousands of kids who are being treated like Guinea pigs for unproven, and sometimes dangerous, medical experiments,” said Cole. “I hope politicians and parents alike use this database to see where these treatments are happening and protect their children from being rushed into irreversible, life-altering treatments.”
Nationally, 13,994 children received sex change-related treatments between 2019 and 2023, according to Do No Harm’s database. This includes 5,747 sex change surgeries performed on children, and 62,682 hormone and puberty blockers prescriptions written for 8,579 pediatric patients.
“At least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors,” reported the organization.
