The Biden administration on Monday reversed a Trump-era decision to allow health care providers to discriminate against LGBTQ people.
As the Bay Area Reporter previously reported, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services decided last June to reverse an Obama-era regulation interpreting the ban on sex discrimination under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to apply to cases of transgender discrimination.
In addition to undoing protections for transgender people, that rule change also rolled back protections based on sex stereotyping, women who have had abortions, and those who speak English as a second language.
