Court Blocks Trump Rule on Gender-Affirming Care | Dover News

A major legal victory for transgender healthcare access: A Massachusetts federal court struck down a Trump-era rule that sought to remove gender-affirming treatments from the Affordable Care Act’s essential health benefits, ensuring they remain covered and subject to cost-sharing. The rule, initially framed as fraud prevention, was challenged by Attorney General Kathy Jennings and allies who called it a politically motivated “war on transgender Americans.” The court ruled the administration failed to follow proper legal procedures, reinforcing patient-doctor autonomy and building on prior rulings that invalidated other parts of the same rule. This win safeguards affordability and access for thousands relying on ACA coverage. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
