The third reading of #SB1257 passes the House after a final vote of 87 YEA - 58 NAY #txlege #HB778

#HB778 / #SB1257 is not about ensuring coverage for detransition it’s about encouraging insurance companies to stop covering trans healthcare. Responding to concerns about increased liability for insurance providers: “if they want to get out of the business all together they can do that” #txlege

Rep. Ann Johnson calling out the truth of the motive behind #HB778 / #SB1257 - to eliminate trans healthcare for all Texans regardless of age. #txlege

If the goal was really to make sure detransition care was covered
@ginaforaustin.bsky.social Amendment 3 would be a no brainer. That Leach opposes it really brings clarity on what the goal of #HB778 / #SB1257 is. The goal is to penalize those insurance providers that cover trans healthcare. #txlege

By adding this unlimited potential future liability #HB778 / #SB1257 will deter insurance companies from providing insurance coverage for transgender texans. #txlege
