snip-COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) A newly introduced bill in the Ohio House would restrict certain healthcare coverage tied to gender-affirming procedures, adding to an ongoing legislative focus on transgender-related policies.
House Bill 838, introduced by Rep. Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.) on April 30, would prohibit the state and local governments from offering insurance plans that cover gender-reassignment surgery for public employees and elected officials. It would also bar Ohios Medicaid program from covering such procedures.-for-transgender-surgeries.
Under the proposal, local governments would be required to certify each year that they are in compliance. Those that do not certify or are found noncompliant could face financial penalties, including reductions to their local government fund payments distributed by the state."
snip-The representative has supported multiple bills this session addressing transgender issues. In March, he introduced legislation restricting access to restrooms and locker rooms based on biological sex and limiting how schools recognize students names and pronouns, and another bill regulating correctional housing based on sex assigned at birth."

... So when Republicans screech about FREEDUMB! they actually mean freedom for them to deny freedom for others.
With all the horrors these scumbags have visited on the rest of America, you'd think they'd at least relegate their culture wars to a back burner, and address the real problems their draconian policies have created.
Too much to ask?
