A federal judge has just overturned ObamaCare protections for transgender patients, which required doctors and hospitals to provide medically necessary services to transgender individuals, ruling that the 2016 policy violates the religious freedoms of Christian providers

Judge Reed OConnor in the Northern District of Texas ruled that the 2016 policy, which also prohibited providers and insurers who receive federal money from denying treatment or coverage to anyone based on sex, gender identity or termination of pregnancy, violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

OConnor stood by his December 2016 decision that the so-called transgender mandate implementing the Affordable Care Acts anti-discrimination provision violates the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) because it defines prohibited sex discrimination in a way that is contrary to law, arbitrary, and capricious.

Nothing more Christian than not providing healthcare to people because you don't like them.

Exactly what I thought.
Everyone deserves to get medical care. Everyone.
Your religious beliefs should have nothing to do with helping people in need.

how is "medically necessary" defined? can doctors just outright refuse to treat transgender patients for issues that have nothing to do with their identity?

I'm sure Jesus would be so fucking proud right now.

"Yea and verily did Jesus say unto his disciples "ye should do all in your power to help those around you unless they are trans, in which case you may let them bleed to death should you find their lifestyle to be questionable" and so the disciples went forth and preached Jesus message"

This.

Cuz if it's just doctors refusing to do reassignment surgeries, I can almost see the justification there. But if it's just doctors refusing patients because they're transgender, that's really shitty and incredibly unchristian.
