Only a handful of GOP elected officials have publicly criticized Trump. Others fear bringing down the wrath of the president or his supporters.Under the Obama-era federal rule, a hospital could be required to perform gender-transition procedures such as hysterectomies if the facility provided that kind of treatment for other medical conditions.
Roger Severino, head of the Health and Human Services Department unit that enforces civil rights laws, has said transgender people continue to be protected by other statutes that bar discrimination in healthcare on account of race, color, national origin, age, disability and other factors. For the administration it’s the latest in a series of steps to revoke newly won protections for LGBTQ people in areas ranging from the military to housing and education.
The proposed new rule would also affect the notices that millions of patients get in multiple languages about their rights to translation services. Such notices often come with insurer “explanation of benefits” forms. The Trump administration says the notice requirement has become a needless burden on healthcare providers, requiring billions of paper notices to be mailed annually at an estimated five-year cost of $3.2 billion.
