LGBTQ patient advocates, who say they often face discrimination when seeking routine procedures or medication, warn the new Trump administration policies put them at greater risk of being denied care. Anticipating backlash, the administration is emphasizing that its overhaul of the nondiscrimination rules, which also mandate accommodations for people with disabilities and those who don't speak English proficiently, will save the health care industry billions of dollars in time and paperwork. For instance, the administration is easing a requirement for health insurers to publish many documents in 15 languages.
