The rule is primarily concerned with enforcing existing civil rights protections to apply specifically to discrimination based on religious beliefs, Roger Severino, head of HHS’s Office for Civil Rights , said during a call with the media on Thursday.
Severino said that under the Obama administration, HHS received only about one or two complaints from health professionals saying they were discriminated against for not performing or assisting with procedures that violated their moral or religious beliefs, but that in the past fiscal year, since the introduction of the OCR’s Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, HHS had received over 300 of these complaints.
When asked what patients without many health care options were supposed to do if their hospital or health care provider refused to perform the procedures they were seeking, Severino repeatedly avoided the question, instead saying that the US had many health care options, and that “patients want doctors who match their values.”
If your “religious beliefs” will stop you from doing your job don’t become a doctor.
Remember when he said he would help protect the LGBTQ community?
Good luck, United States of America...........

Trump administration may soon remove transgender health care protectionsThe Trump administration may soon introduce proposed regulations that could allow health care providers, hospitals and insurers to discriminate against transgender patients, according to equality advocates What CNN isn’t telling you is that these organizations are faith-based health organizations. The only religious organization that this advocates never challenge are when they are Muslims. For example IMANA – Islamic Medical Association of North America Fake news? Fearmongering? 'We cannot go into further detail because these matters are subject to ongoing litigation, and rulemaking processes and procedures governed by the Administrative Procedure Act and subject to longstanding Executive Branch policy,' ~ press office. Bunch of racists.
