Way to go Texas.
This weekend in Texas, a judge blocked the enforcement of an Obamacare policy that extends nondiscrimination protections in healthcare to transgender people and people who have had abortions.
The policy would have expanded the definition of sex discrimination to include discrimination based on gender identity or termination of pregnancy – in other words, it would have made sure that insurance providers couldn’t treat or charge people differently depending on if they’re trans or if they’ve had an abortion. Just before the policy was to take effect, U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor ruled that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act.
Eight states (including Texas) and three Christian health groups had challenged the law, essentially fighting for their right to discriminate against trans people or people who have had abortions.
As explained in O'Connor’s 46-page opinion, the plaintiffs argued that the new regulation would “require them to perform and provide insurance coverage for gender transitions and abortions, regardless of their contrary religious beliefs or medical judgment.”
The same judge issued a similar court order in August blocking a separate Obama administration policy that would have required public schools, over the objections of 13 states, to allow transgender students to use restrooms of their choice.
It was not immediately clear whether the Obama administration, which has just 20 days left in office, would seek to appeal the latest injunction.
White House spokeswoman Katie Hill decried the ruling.
“Today’s decision is a setback, but hopefully a temporary one, since all Americans - regardless of their sex, gender identity or sexual orientation - should have access to quality, affordable health care free from discrimination,” she said.
Another case of people going out of their way to discriminate against those who already face countless institutional obstacles. This is horrific.
