Dr. Jake Kleinmahon, who is just one of three pediatric heart doctors with his specialty in Louisiana, said he feels like the state has targeted families like his.

America is such a strange place—I know a lot of conservatives will probably cheer in response to this doctor leaving the state. The resulting huge void in the ladder of pediatric care and the poor health outcomes for children are just collateral damages in the struggle for republicans to be able to openly hate and discriminate against the queer community again. It’s ironic (or maybe just hypocritical?) that the republicans have pivoted all their messaging to “we have to protect the children,” while directly creating situations like this that hurt children.
They’d rather shoot themselves and their children in the foot than just leave others with different lifestyles alone.
Don’t even know the foot in there in some cases
It’s interesting how gun handling accidents are so symbolic for all self harming political action of conservatives.

This will inevitably create even higher healthcare costs. More and more procedures and specialists require someone to fly to a blue city or state.
