Trump has reversed Obama-era protections that prohibit discrimination in health care based on gender identity. Critics warn the rule could harm a vulnerable group — LGBTQ people — during a pandemic.
at UCLA estimates that hundreds of thousands of transgender adults may be especially vulnerable to COVID-19 because they have an underlying condition, are over 65, lack health insurance or live in poverty.
For black transgender people, Gaynor says,"it's layers of oppression — it's transphobia on top of racism on top of economic oppression." All of that could impact their ability to get health care during the pandemic, she says, which in turn, could have public health implications for all. , a health law professor at Georgetown University, notes that the new rule could have another chilling effect."Even if no one actually does discriminate more because of the rule, you've created a fear," Keith says.— which penalizes people who are seeking to become citizens if they use public safety net programs like nutrition and housing assistance — affected people and programs outside the scope of the rule itself.," she says."You see folks scared to go to the doctor.
Although Anderson, at the Heritage Foundation, supports the rule, he says the prospect that it could have a chilling effect is"a very reasonable concern.""I don't think any reasonable person wants to see transgender people not enrolling in health care plans and not having access to health care," Anderson says.
