Malpractice Insurance Prices Are Stopping Small Clinics From Offering Gender-Affirming Care to Minors
After Iowa lawmakers passed a ban on gender-affirming care for minors in March, managers of an LGBTQ+ health clinic located just across the state line in Moline, Illinois, decided to start offering that care.
