(The Center Square) – Medical watchdog Do No Harm along with other groups praised the Department of Health and Human Services’ report exposing fraudulent insurance coding practices for transgender procedures on minors that brought in financial gain equalling millions of dollars.
Do No Harm Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kurt Miceli told The Center Square: “This new report by HHS is an extraordinary breakthrough in our mission to protect American youth from the transgender industrial complex.”
