Trump poised to roll back transgender health protections

The Trump administration appears ready to roll back health care protections for transgender people, and advocates are gearing up for a fight.

A proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that’s expected in the coming days would make it easier for doctors, hospitals and insurance companies to deny care or coverage to transgender patients, as well as women who have had abortions.

Coming on the heels of the military transgender ban, there are fears the administration could go even further and use the proposal as an opportunity to narrow the definition of gender.
[…]
The administration hinted in a recent court filing that new health regulations could be published as soon as next week. The rule is expected to weaken or eliminate an anti-discrimination provision enshrined in ObamaCare.

This is genocide!

Can he do this?

The section on discrimination says…

Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Section 1557 is the nondiscrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in certain health programs or activities. Section 1557 builds on long-standing and familiar Federal civil rights laws: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. Section 1557 extends nondiscrimination protections to individuals participating in:

• Any health program or activity any part of which received funding from HHS
• Any health program or activity that HHS itself administers
• Health Insurance Marketplaces and all plans offered by issuers that participate in those Marketplaces.
• Section 1557 has been in effect since its enactment in 2010 and the HHS Office for Civil Rights has been enforcing the provision since it was enacted.

Notice it says… “The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in certain health programs or activities.” Nowhere does it say anything about gender identity or expression or Gender Dysphoria. Our protection came from regulatory statutes that were written by Health and Human Services and under Trump they are being rewritten to exclude us.

In other words we are screwed!
