The Trump administration rolled back parts of section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act relating to gender identity and abortion issues.
Some are claiming this will allow discrimination of trans people in medical treatment. Others view the removed sections as an overreach that would force doctors to provide surgery (on minors) for gender dysphoria and would punish doctors and hospitals who refuse to provide abortions they may have religious or other objections to performing.
Gender Health Query is not a legal analysis site and we have no comment. But this is getting tagged to relevant topics on the site that have to do with mandated medical treatment on minors, which this law may have affected.
Below, two opposing views are provided.
A pro 1557 view:
A con 1557 view:
“Do no harm' to medicine with gender identity and abortion politics”
