The Senate on Wednesday passed the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, a massive defense spending package that includes a ban on coverage of gender-affirming care for the transgender children of military service members.
The vote in the Senate was 85 to 14, after the House last week passed the bill, which was negotiated by Senate and House leaders of both parties. It now heads to President Joe Biden's desk.
