ObamaCare Transgender Protections Overturned by Judge Who Ruled ACA Illegal


A federal judge has overturned transgender protections under the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) by the Judge who ruled ACA illegal.

Previously, under the Affordable Care Act, insurers and providers who received federal money were prohibited from denying treatment or coverage to anyone based on sex, gender identity, or termination of a pregnancy.

However, after this ruling by Judge Reed O’Connor, things are now a little more complicated.
