ALT graphic with an orange border and white center where there is text "It Gets Worse provisions in bills like SB 129 and HB 2177 attack state, local, and state appropriated funding for providers and organizations that provide gender affirming care to any transgender person of any age. Facilities would be forced to choose between providing best practice medical care for trans folks, and critical funding to support responses in their daily work, in specialized work around HIV, or even crises like COVID-19."

ALT graphic with an orange border and white center where there is text "HB 2177 Harms More Oklahomans by banning private insurance from covering any affirming treatment for transgender Oklahomans of all ages. this would force insurance companies to discriminate against trans people, and is an attempt at a de facto ban on gender affirming care for folks of all ages. It will cost trans people their lives."

ALT graphic with an orange border and white center where there is text "How this impacts care for everyone. in a state where insurance companies, medical facilities, and doctors all have to worry about losing licenses and funding because of arbitrary interpretation of laws that demand discrimination, we're going to lose providers and investment in an already crumbling health care infrastructure. we're already seeing pediatricians leave and medical students opt into residencies in other states. this will hurt all Oklahomans, but especially all Oklahoma kids."
