The Trump administration announces plans to roll back Obama-era health care regulations that provided nondiscrimination protections for transgender patients and women seeking to terminate their pregnancies.

The Trump administration announced plans Friday to roll back Obama-era health care regulations that provided nondiscrimination protections for transgender patients and women seeking to terminate their pregnancies, calling instead for new protections for health care workers who cite religious objections to refuse care.

He said the new rule wouldn't preempt state regulations and it wouldn't urge medical providers not to treat certain patients. The move reflects the Trump administration's position that discrimination on the basis of sex shouldn't include gender identity. The administration has taken several steps to roll back or limit rights for LGBTQ people, including a restriction on transgender people serving in the military.

The latest proposal would alter the government's definition of"Section 1557," which is the non-discrimination of the Affordable Care Act. The Obama administration had issued a 2016 rule that expanded the class of people protected against discrimination to include gender identity.

He's just bring a jackass wants nothing with name Obama associated with it !!!stil! Obessec jealous of Obama has not yet stop brining up his name and Hillary !!!

Wow I actually researched this, it was easy just googled a couple of words. It doesn't mean what you imply. It was original blocked by a judge because it forced people to perform sex change operations and abortions even if it was against their beliefs.

Sad day

This is outrageous!

Why so much hate of transgenders - if anything blame God for this defect in his creation. There are so many, many outrageous sins that are committed by normal humans that these self-appointed spiritual judges do not even want to condemn. Live and let live and let God be the judge

Nutty Nancy is more interested in getting Trump than working for the good of the people. So why isn't she doing anything? MAGA2020 TDS FakeNewsMedia DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

So, if a woman wants to get an abortion after say week 10, the insurance would not cover it? If so, that’s a great idea!

Insane and racist Crump 🤡 has has proven that his hatred of everything that his predecessors. Has put forward he’s going to strike it down no matter what. He needs to roll back out of the office divider full of lies.

Good!

What’s next? Segregating schools?

Have these people completely forgotten about separation of Church and State?

FakeNews we don't want MEN running races against women and getting the college scholarship

Rather than attempting any meaningful legislation, this administration chooses to marginalize and punish.

JUST STOP! Discrimination in ANY form is already illegal. There is no reason to single out any group for preferential treatment.

One step closer to what realDonaldTrump considers 'the good ol days'. Watch out Brown v Board of Education...

So we aren't gunna pay for sex changes and abortions?

But if course they did....it's all about that base, that base..

Yeah, who needs discrimination laws anyway to protect the public 😐

And Just Why would you Do That Trump

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?
