The Trump administration proposed Friday to roll back health-care protections for transgender people by ending an Obama-era policy that prohibited health providers from discriminating against patients based on their gender identity.

The Trump administration wants to roll back health-care protections for transgender people.

The Obama administration issued a regulation in 2016 that redefined discrimination on the basis of sex to include gender identity. In a proposed rule issued Friday by the Health and Human Services Department, the administration said it was revising the policy in part to relieve taxpayers of $3.6 billion in "unnecessary" regulatory costs.

The rule, which is likely to spur lawsuits, faces a 60-day comment period before it's finalized. Severino said the agency will still enforce civil rights protections on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and sex.
