What it does
The Veterans Healthcare Equality Act of 2025 would prohibit the Department of Veterans Affairs from discriminating against individuals based on gender identity in the provision of health care, including denying medically necessary treatments for gender dysphoria. It applies to transgender veterans receiving hospital care, medical services, or extended care under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The bill requires the Secretary to provide quarterly briefings to congressional veterans’ affairs committees on the delivery of such services to transgender veterans, beginning within 90 days of enactment.
