A new proposed regulation<\/a> on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) announced last thursday aim for a better protection of transgender people. <\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time, this regulation would establish a policy of nondiscrimination in health care on the basis of “sex<\/strong>“. The word will be defined to include gender identity as well, in order to guarantee that transgender people have the same access to health care as others. <\/p>\n

The notion of \u201csex stereotyping\u201d being included, this protection would extend as well to people who might be discriminated against based on stereotypical notions of feminity or masculinity.<\/p>\n

This regulation would now impede insurances from systematically exclude transgender people from getting coverage just because of their gender identity. <\/p>\n

It would also ensure their gender is appropriately respected<\/strong>, especially in case of sex-segregated facilities and protect their access to medically necessary health care services. <\/p>\n

In 2011, a National Transgender discrimination<\/a> survey found that 19% of transgenders who answered the survey reported being refused medical care, 50% faced medical providers who didn’t know the specificities of transgender care.<\/p>\n

Several states had already included such protections, but this proposed regulation would apply across the entire country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
