Federal Employees File Lawsuit Against Trump Admin's Ban on Gender-Affirming Healthcare Coverage
Federal employees have filed a complaint against the Trump administration's ban on gender-affirming care in government health plans, alleging it discriminates against transgender workers. The group claims the policy, set to go into effect Thursday, is unconstitutional and lacks evidence to justify it.
The Trump administration's ban on gender-affirming care has sparked a lawsuit from federal employees who claim the policy is unfair and violates their rights as transgender individuals. The employees are alleging that the new rule will cause them financial hardship and harm to their well-being. The complaint comes as the ban takes effect, which eliminates coverage for certain medical treatments under the Affordable Care Act. Several court challenges have already been filed against the Trump administration's policy on gender-affirming care.
