Washington
Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, known as the Health Care Rights Law,"prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in certain health programs and activities." A rule enacted in 2016 interpreted the ban on sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of gender identity, building on similar interpretations in other federal civil rights laws and court rulings.
~ that’s just evil… imagine feeling so high n mighty as to crush vulnerable people with less protection against hate.
Wouldn’t that fall under pre-existing conditions? This doesn’t seem like it would hold up.
The laws should always be made to fit 99% of the population, not 1%. American taxpayers who support this belief shouldn’t have to pay for cosmetic surgery and sex-change operations (like they’re already doing in NYC with Medicaid)...
PeterMerlinCane Wow. New level of disgusting. And the republicans claim to be Christians. FakeChristian in the White House.
Worst overall administration in the history of this country facts
“When Congress prohibited sex discrimination, it did so according to the plain meaning of the term...” If you allow discrimination in the case that Gender doesn’t match sex, then that IS sex discrimination. Requiring a Female to be Feminine etc. to get care is discrimination.
So if I had an abortion in 1977 this is stupid VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
In all fairness a tranny that's biologically a FEMALE walks in with fatigue headaches and constipation because SHE is preggers, but doctor prescribes 'him' Pepto Bismal, Tylenol and exercise, that's one of those things that doctor's need to know. Not discrimination. Common Sense
Yes!
Such a democratic country ?
There are trying to set us back to the stone ages. This administration is so closed minded and greedy, things need to change.
I have no sympathy for anyone, minority, or group who voted for Trump but are now feeling oppress by his policies. I just feel sorry for the ones who are caught up in the middle of their stupidity.
Lawmakers, House, Senate, Republican or Democrat. If you care about your constituents with preexisting conditions, introduce legislation that changes the penalty for not having insurance under the ACA from $0 to $1. That will make it constitutional again.
Evangelical Terrorists Do The Work Of Jesus.Setting In JUDGEMENT Over People,Deciding Who Gets To Live And Who You Are Going To Let Die.Odd,I Never Found In The Bible Where Jesus Denied Any One Begging For Healing,Or Telling Them They Didn’t “Qualify” For His Attentions.HUH.....

Next revision: Potential parents who have had appendectomies or tonsillectomies are obviously unfit to be parents.
The hate is strong with this administration. I hope people are paying attention.
Trump era is a great time for anyone who wants to do stupid things. This is because it would be soon forgotten by another stupid thing. MAGA
I'm curious to know how HHS would find out if you are transgender or had undergone an abortion. Aren't their HIPPA rules that protect that type of information? HHSGov TheDemocrats GOP realDonaldTrump

Obama without Obama-ism: 2020 Democrats embrace the ex-president but not his policiesDemocratic presidential candidates praise Barack Obama in glowing terms. But most are running on a very different agenda. Democrats lost over 1000 seats because of Obama. Despite the media's best attempts to convince people that dem policies and especially Obama are popular, these politicians know it isn't. They have the internal polling. Obama has had his time and he elevated people through his policies and actions. Now it is time to pass the torch to PeteButtigieg 🇺🇸 2020 who is as diplomatic, intelligent and qualified. Don't let ego in the way of your patriotic duties, vote for the most qualified candidate. So it’s more far left than his?
