The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has sought to undermine health care access for LGBTQ people. Since the Trump Administration took office, HHS has announced:
- the creation of a new unit within the HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR) called the “Conscience and Religious Freedom Division;”
- issued a Denial-of-Care Rule that invites health care workers and facilities to impose their religious beliefs on patients, arbitrarily deciding who receives care and who doesn’t; and
- proposed to roll back the Affordable Care Act’s nondiscrimination protections as they apply to LGBTQ people.
Each of these actions will almost certainly result in the unconstitutional denial of medical care and cause potentially life-threatening harm to patients, in particular to LGBTQ people and women.
