The cruelty is the point.
This health care rule serves LITERALLY no purpose other than to target and discriminate against communities already vulnerable to disparities in health care!
☎️ @SecAzar: 202-690-7000 #StopTheRule
🏦 The Supreme Court JUST ruled that #LGBTQ people are protected from sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act.
The new rule inviting discrimination in health care looks (even more) absurd right now.
Tell @HHSGov and @SecAzar to #StopTheRule: bit.ly/stoptherule
According to @amprog: 29% of #transgender people have experienced discrimination in health care.
18% of #LGBTQ people report avoiding visits to the doctor out of fear of discrimination.
This rule will only make those numbers worse. #StopTheRule
Black people already experience significant disparities in health care.
This rule will only INCREASE injustice in the health care setting, inviting the most harm on Black trans people & others who hold multiple marginalized identities. #StopTheRule cdn.americanprogress.org/content/upload…
Let @HHSGov know: Their relentless attacks on our health care – including life-saving care for LGBTQ people, and transgender people in particular – are unacceptable. #StopTheRule! bit.ly/stoptherule
The people of our nation are out in the streets demanding justice right now, in the middle of a global pandemic.
The Trump Administration is choosing injustice over health through @SecAzar and @HHSGov, inviting discrimination in health care. #StopTheRule: bit.ly/stoptherule
🚨 6/12/20: The @realDonaldTrump administration announced an incredibly harmful rule attempting to roll back nondiscrimination protections in health care. It will be published 6/19. Take action right now to protect our care! #StopTheRule 🚨 bit.ly/stoptherule
Transgender people and people of color in particular already face elevated rates of discrimination in health care.
✅ Section 1557 of the ACA protects them [from discrimination]
❌ HHS is trying to undermine that. #StopTheRule
☎️ @SecAzar NOW: 202-690-7000
Revised 1557 health care rule invites discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
But Monday’s SCOTUS ruling DESTROYS the Trump administration’s bogus legal “justifications” for doing so.
Tell @HHSGov that we need to #StopTheRule!
☎️ @SecAzar: 202-690-7000
On Thursday 6/18 at 4pm, @LambdaLegal & friends will deliver the signatures on this petition to the doorstep of @HHSGov.
