This legislation is dangerous and can only cause harm to minors. It has no beneficial aspects. Homeless or parentless (or emancipated) children already can receive medical care provided through Medicaid. This new legislation basically removes parental control or even knowledge of medical treatments (including experimental treatments) performed on their minor children without even a minimum age. The decision whether these children can consent to such medical interventions is left to those performing the services, ignoring motives such as profit, opportunity for experimentation or grandiose notions of "saving the world." This legislation must be rejected.
