TRUMP TO REVERSE OBAMA RULE BANNING HEALTH CARE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST TRANSGENDER PEOPLE

[Soph0571]

In its latest move targeting civil rights of LGBT people the Trump administration is moving to roll back an Obama-era rule that banned discrimination against transgender people in health care.
The 2016 rule, embedded in the Affordable Care Act, prohibited anti-transgender incrimination by doctors, hospitals and health insurance companies, The New York Times reports.

------------------

The Times notes the judge's ruling came after "eight states, a network of Roman Catholic hospitals and the Christian Medical and Dental Associations, representing 19,000 doctors, challenged the Obama-era rule." That judge "temporarily stopped enforcement of the protections for transgender patients, saying that Congress had outlawed discrimination based on sex — 'the biological differences between males and females' — but not transgender status."

3. Every day he finds a way to make this country a crueler, harsher place

for more and more people. I really hope Karma comes around for him in this lifetime. I want to see this rotten bastard get what is coming to him.

4. That's how we know the Pee Tape is real.

Sure, Trump is a germophobe who probably doesn't get off to golden showers regularly.

But he does despise Barack Obama so much that he would be so low as to have Russian prostitutes befoul the bed that the Obamas once slept in.

And you shall know him by his pettiness!!

5. I'm willing to bet there are lots of trans folks

who didn't bother to vote in the last presidential election like lots of other Americans that are getting savaged by Trump and his party.

I sincerely hope they are motivated enough to vote democratic in the upcoming elections this fall.
