Trump admin. moves to roll back Obama-era protections for transgender patients.

. In one, he argued that sexual orientation and gender identity are “changeable” and therefore not deserving of anti-discrimination protections.Obama used the executive branch's rulemaking power to broaden the definition of sex in order to extend nondiscrimination protections to transgender people in areas where they report high levels of discrimination, like health care and homeless shelters. But under the Trump administration, many of those rules have been rolled back.

On May 2, HHS released a final rule that would allow health care workers in federally funded facilities to refuse to perform or assist in medical procedures that violate their"conscience" or religion,Earlier this week, the Department of Housing and Urban Development made a similar move to rescind the Equal Access rule, a similar regulation issued by the Obama administration that ensured federally funded shelters did not discriminate against transgender people.

Taxpayer time and money for no good reason, way more important things need attention than stopping protection for a small group of people.

Liberals always need special rights...

You mean our taxes won’t pay for “re-assignment” operations? Good.

Fake

You mean Trump regime. TrumpRegime pls stop coddling grandather-child

This is straight up cruel. So much for beating hearts.

It's bad enough these people are having surgeries to change their sex, for now that's legal. What infuriates me are the transgenders, those that float through both worlds with 2 identities.

I should hope so, this abomination of hedonistic behavior has spread enough. This Sodom & Gomorrah sickness that when I was growing up was basically only found in the open in Provincetown, MA or anywhere California. Homosexuality, NOT BOMBS, will end the world.

The government is finally reflecting God’s Word. The way our forefathers designed it to be. God Loves everyone but doesn’t tolerate sin and calls for repentance.

Taxpayers should never pay for anything related to sexual preference (sodomite) or murder (abortion), EVER!!!

It's long past time to stop using 'administration' and switch to the factual 'regime'

At what point do we say ENOUGH!

Donald Trump is the 'most transparent' President in history. 😂😂😂😂😜

But I thought Donald J Trump loves the LGBTQ community. Best people ever. I mean that’s what that pile of human feces said anyways...

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?

Trump administration proposes rule that removes Obama-era transgender health care protectionsThe Department of Health and Human Services proposed a rule Friday that would roll back an Obamacare regulation that prohibits discrimination against patients who are transgender or have previously undergone an abortion. 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 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

Opinion | Obama and Biden can’t take credit for the soaring Trump economyYou almost have to feel sorry for Joe Biden, running against such compelling economic success. Remember when this writer was nominated for Labor Secretary and dropped out because he was too stupid? I'm a farmer who voted for Clinton. Get out of your bubble. It's not soaring. Real quick...what’s our Nation’s Deficit number now? So, like, we’re living-on-maxed-out-credit-cards wealthy.

Donald Trump blames Obama, Bush, Clinton for China deficit: “They created a monster”The president told Fox News that Beijing “took advantage of us for many, many years.” Everybody else's fault but Trumps. Blames everyone for his failures, takes credit for others' successes. Correct. Donald Trump is the most narcissistic person who literally has ever lived not to mention the most in-debt person.
