"The U.S. Supreme Court ... struck down a Fourth Circuit decision that preserved access to gender-affirming care under two state-run health plans, telling the lower court to consider a recent decision by the justices that upheld a Tennessee law limiting treatments for young transgender people.... In the present combined appeal, North Carolina and West Virginia separately petitioned the Supreme Court in July 2024, after a Fourth Circuit panel affirmed lower courts' decisions that blocked laws imposing gender-affirming care bans in state-run health plans."
