Schwab and Walmart get it right on not covering “gender transitions” for minors

CEI HRC Protecting Children
July 28, 2026

Consider the millions of working parents who show up every day at their jobs, work hard to support their families and pay into their company’s healthcare plans. They trust that their premiums will fund genuine medical care, not repeat one of medicine’s darkest mistakes. In our not-so-distant past, frontal lobotomies were performed to “treat” psychiatric conditions — despite limited evidence of effectiveness. The operations had devastating long-term effects and no proven medical benefit. It was not long before the world realized what a serious mistake was being committed and put a stop to this abusive “treatment.” Today’s unproven “gender-affirming” interventions on minors use surgery, hormones and puberty blockers to address a mental health condition with similarly irreversible consequences: permanent sterilization, the removal of healthy organs and lifelong physical and emotional damage. No responsible modern healthcare plan would cover frontal lobotomies, yet many quietly fund these experimental sex-denying procedures on children. Let us not repeat that shameful history on our gender-dysphoric youths. This is not healthcare. These are not medically necessary procedures. These are not minor adjustments or reversible treatments. They are costly, permanently damaging experiments on our children, who lack the maturity and legal capacity to count the cost of …

550+ Companies Covering Sex-Denying Procedures for Minor Dependents

CEI HRC LGBTQ+ Protecting Children
July 28, 2026

According to February 2026 data from the Human Rights Campaign, 550+ companies provide health insurance coverage for transgender medical interventions, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgical procedures, to covered minor dependents through their employee health plans. HRC reports this information after a corporate representative uses an online HRC portal to upload, or affirm a previously uploaded copy of, the company’s Summary Plan Description (SPD) or Summary of Material Modification (SMM) that explicitly shows coverage for transition-related care. The representative must also upload a copy of the company’s applicable clinical guidelines (medical policy). These companies range from major financial institutions and law firms to retailers, insurers, and tech giants. Shareholders, customers, parents, and employees deserve to know where their companies stand. 1792 Exchange calls on every company on this list to adopt clear protections for minor dependents in their healthcare plans and get back to business.

DOJ Sides With Insurer That Won’t Cover “Transition” Surgery for Minor

Protecting Children
July 27, 2026

On July 13, 2026, the Department of Justice urged the Ninth Circuit to reverse a ruling that had ordered Premera Blue Cross to cover chest surgery for a young girl. The Justice Department’s brief argues the exclusion is not sex discrimination but a “sensible policy … rooted in biological reality, developmental psychology, and medical diagnosis.” Premera covers a mastectomy for a boy with gynecomastia and for a girl with breast cancer, but declines the same surgery when it is performed on a healthy adolescent, boys and girls alike. The line, the brief says, is the diagnosis, not the patient’s sex, and it reads the Supreme Court’s 2025 decision in Skrmetti to say exactly that. Every federal appeals court to weigh the question since, the brief notes, has rejected the lower court’s reasoning. The whole dispute turns on one phrase, “medically necessary.” That label rests heavily on the standards of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the same WPATH the FTC and multiple states are now suing for stripping surgical age limits without evidentiary basis and calling virtually every pediatric “transition” service “medically necessary.” The brief itself cites England’s Cass Review and a 2025 HHS review that found the evidence …

Professionals Are Betting Less on Identity Politics for Career Advancement

CEI HRC LGBTQ+
July 20, 2026

“It’s interesting to see activist groups openly confess to exploiting sexual and gender identity to get ahead in the workplace. But even more interesting is that the most radical ideologues are now admitting that the spell is wearing off,” 1792 Exchange executive vice president Greg Scott told the DCNF. The 1792 Exchange is a nonprofit whose mission “is ‘helping businesses get back to business’ by influencing American companies to advance principles including free speech, freedom of religion, and free enterprise,” according to its website. “Many companies have seen that taking sides in political battles presents few benefits and carries intolerable reputational risk. It’s not speculation or mere vibing to say that businesses are increasingly getting back to business and leaving the culture wars behind,” Scott said. Scott told the DCNF that 65% of Fortune 500 companies stopped participating in the Human Rights Campaign (HRC)’s Corporate Equality Index survey in one year. He also said that HRC lost half its annual dinner sponsors in one year. “These are just two indicators that many businesses are renewing their commitment to serve all their customers, shareholders, and employees, rather than bow the knee to special interests,” Scott said.
