From Breitbart:
The lawsuit is against Children’s Health System of Texas, the seventh-largest pediatric hospital in the U.S., and Jason Jarin, a pediatric doctor in the Dallas area. The lawsuit accused the hospital and Jarin, a Division Director at Children’s Health, of billing Texas Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for “gender interventions” for children as young as nine years old. He is also accused of violating state law banning sex change drugs and surgeries for minors, with more than a dozen patients.
The lawsuit accused the hospital and doctor of engaging in a healthcare fraud scheme since 2017 by billing “gender interventions” to Texas Medicaid, which is not legal in the state. The lawsuit alleges they continued to do so after Senate Bill 14 became law in September 2023, which banned sex changes for minors.
“I will use every legal tool available to ensure radical gender activists like Jarin face justice for hurting our kids,” Paxton said in a statement. “This criminal extremist not only permanently harmed children, but he also then defrauded Medicaid and stuck Texas taxpayers with the bill for this insanity. Experimental ‘transition’ procedures on minors are illegal, unethical, and will not be tolerated in Texas.”
Paxton alleges that Children’s Health and Jarin illegally charged gender claims to Texas Medicaid.
“They did this by falsifying or misrepresenting medical records, prescriptions, and billing submissions to pharmacies, insurers, and Medicaid,” his office said in a press release.
