Key Points to Highlight:
- The Trump administration is proposing a rule that would make it easier for health providers -- doctors, nurses, hospitals, pharmacies and insurance plans -- to use their religious, moral or personal beliefs to deny patients needed care.
- This rule could subject women and LGBTQ people to widespread discrimination and denials of the health care they need – even in emergencies!
- Women suffering miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies could be denied prompt, medically-appropriate treatment. Rape victims could be denied emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy.
- Biased health providers could discriminate against transgender patients, denying them gender transition care, or even basic primary care.
- Tell the Trump administration that a patient’s health should always come first!
