DES MOINES, Iowa (CN) The ACLU of Iowa claims in court that the state’s policy of denying Medicaid coverage for sex-reassignment operations violates the equal protection provision of the state’s constitution and the Iowa Civil Rights Act.
The lawsuit announced Thursday was filed by the ACLU of Iowa and the national ACLU LGBTQ & HIV Project on behalf of Aiden Vasquez, who lives in southeast Iowa. It is the ACLU’s third attempt to strike down as unconstitutional Iowa’s practice of denying what is known as gender-affirming surgeries for transgender people.
