Federal and state policies
Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) created specific protections barring insurance discrimination based
on sexual orientation and gender identity.8
Prior to enactment, medically necessary gender-affirming hormones
and surgeries were often excluded from insurance coverage. Addressing this disparity, the US Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) promulgated final regulations in 2016 implementing section 1557 of the ACA to extend
protections against sex discrimination to health coverage and care for the first time and including gender identity
discrimination within the definition of sex discrimination.9
However, a federal court stayed a legal challenge to the
rule after the current Administration announced it would reconsider the rule’s prohibition on discrimination based
on gender identity. The timeline for HHS reconsideration is unknown and the current Administration has, to date,
declined to defend the regulation.10 Rulings by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission remain intact,
however, which found that employer-sponsored plans that exclude gender-affirming care violate Title VII. 11 Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
