Project 2025 proposes sweeping changes to healthcare policies, emphasizing reforms that would bolster family health while specifically focusing on traditional, married families.

The agenda suggests innovations such as utilizing marriage education funding to support healthcare initiatives that encourage family stability. However, the implications of these reforms are significant for those not fitting into this traditional family mold.

For instance, LGBTQ+ individuals, unmarried partners, and single parents may find their healthcare options limited or less tailored to their needs.

If policy shifts withdraw support from reproductive health services that don’t align with traditional family values, this could also lead to a reduction in available services for family planning, sexual health, and gender-specific healthcare outside of heterosexual marriage contexts.

The narrowing focus could exacerbate existing disparities in healthcare access and outcomes among minority and marginalized groups, potentially leading to poorer overall public health and increased healthcare inequalities [Project 2025, page 482].
