The Trump administration appears poised to roll back ObamaCares anti-discrimination protections for transgender patients, a move that has activist groups girding for a fight.
A proposed rule from the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to be released in the coming weeks or months that opponents say would make it easier for doctors and hospitals to deny treatment to transgender patients and women who have had abortions.
The proposed rule is expected to roll back a controversial anti-discrimination provision buried within ObamaCare.
Religious providers say they expect the Trump administrations rule would merely reinforce their right not to provide treatment that's against their beliefs.

(1,798 posts)3. Religion
is one of the main reasons for so much hatred, war and hell on this planet. Using it as a reason to shit on ones human rights is so typical and sicking.

when you have the means to help them? It's been a while since I've read the New Testament, but I seem to recall Jesus healed everyone, no questions asked.

(11,686 posts)5. So, will that mean if a religious person comes to the doctor
and the doctor's faith does not believe in helping the religious can they get away with not helping them? My other question is, if a woman had an ectopic and it was removed just in time to keep her from dying will they be able to turn her away also?
