The Trump administration on Friday released a rule that would roll back Obama-era protections for transgender patients under the Affordable Care Act, despite a last-minute push by Democrats and health groups to block a change they say will curtail health-care access during the pandemic.
The action will end a policy that expanded an antidiscrimination provision in the ACA to cover bias against people who identify with a gender other than the one listed on their birth certificate.
