Trump Administration Overturned Healthcare Protection Guidelines
Written by DJ Sight on June 14, 2020
President Donald Trump Administration overturned a law that former President Obama set in place to protect transgender people against sex discrimination in health care.
The Affordable Care Act also known as Obamacare establish a broad civil rights protection in healthcare barring discrimination based on race color national origin sex age of disability in any health program or activity that receives Federal money.
Former President Barack Obama overturned the federal health care guidelines back in 2016 to protect people based on gender identity and also protection for those who have had abortions.
Many people find the timing of this move odd because June is pride month.
