On Thursday, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said his office argued a case before the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals involving the state’s decision not to cover gender-affirming surgeries under its Medicaid plan.
That case is an appeal from an order last year from a federal district court. It said the state’s choice not to cover gender-affirming care under Medicaid violates the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.
