Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against a pediatric hospital and a doctor for allegedly prescribing sex change drugs to minors and billing Texas Medicaid.
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.
