TLDEF Applauds Obama Administration for Efforts to Ban Transgender Health Care Discrimination Across U.S.
TLDEF applauds the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) proposed regulation to prohibit health care discrimination against transgender Americans. If adopted, the Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities rule would prohibit discrimination against transgender people in all health care facilities that receive HHS funds and ban the widespread insurance industry practice of excluding coverage for transgender health care in all plans sold by insurance companies that participate in health insurance exchanges. It would also require all state Medicaid plans to cover transgender health care. The rule is designed to implement the Affordable Care Act’s non-discrimination provision, Section 1557.
