U.S. health agency reverses Obamacare transgender protections

The rule reverses some provisions of the 2011 Affordable Care Act passed during Democratic President Barack Obama’s administration, also known as Obamacare, that extended civil rights protections in healthcare to cover areas including gender identity and the termination of a pregnancy.

LGBTQ rights groups, Democratic lawmakers and Democratic-controlled states have decried efforts under the administration of President Donald Trump to erode protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer citizens. One group said it planned to sue the administration over the new rule.

The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, said on Friday it planned to “sue the Trump administration for exceeding their legal authority and attempting to remove basic health care protections from vulnerable communities including LGBTQ people.”

Trump, Divider in chief at it again. MakeAmericaHateAgain

oh good so people without uterus's can finally get that abortion they always wanted

Their cruelty knows no bounds..

Time to start denying services to Evangelicals, especially healthcare. When they die out the rest of us can agree on equal treatment for all.

that issued a rule is not human rights, very bad to relationship of communities, and very sine

Sad 2 read SINCE Michelle Obama is considered 'transexual' according to former ET Hostess

They should at least stop calling themselves 'pro-life'.

Good, taxpayers should never be responsible for abortions & gender reassignments. Period.

Good...

Didn't the federal courts do that last year?

Democrats take one step forward, Republicans take two steps back

Unconscionable HHSGov

Noooooo

LGBTQ rights are human rights.

LGBTQ rights are human rights.

Only male and female covid-19 deaths have been documented. Could it be because there aren't any other genders?

Why would they need a special law. In healthcare we don’t get to pick and chose who to help. We have to help everyone, even politicians! No really we take an oath. We have to help everyone!
