HHS Proposes to Revise ACA Section 1557 Rule to Enforce Civil Rights in Healthcare, Conform to Law, and Eliminate Billions in Unnecessary Costs
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] Link to more items from this source
[Guidance Overview]
May 24, 2019

"[A] federal court preliminarily enjoined the rule's gender identity and termination of pregnancy provisions on a nationwide basis, finding them contrary to the applicable civil rights law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. A second federal court agreed. Because the preliminary injunction continues to be in effect, HHS cannot, and has not since the date of the injunction, enforced the rule's provisions the court said are likely unlawful. The proposed rule would revise the provisions subject to those injunctions to conform with the plain understanding recognized by the court." [HHS also published a Factsheet on Section 1557, and an advance copy of the Proposed Regulations.]
