New Hampshire court denies temporary pause in trans youth Medicaid case
On October 5, a federal judge denied a temporary restraining order in Goe v. HHS because the families had not addressed Rule 65(b)'s requirements. The court did not resolve their request for a preliminary injunction or the merits of their challenge to federal Medicaid and CHIP funding restrictions on trans youth care. An October 6 scheduling order sets the government's response for October 15, the families' reply for October 22 and a hearing for October 30. The challenged rule is scheduled to take effect October 13. This procedural setback leaves families seeking protection against an interruption in medically necessary care; it does not establish that the funding rule is lawful.
