The rule specifically bans the denial of coverage or health care itself on the basis of gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>The rule, which comprises several regulations, was formed under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act, which includes first-of-its-kind civil rights protections in health care for several classes of people &mdash; including a ban on discrimination on the basis of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>ICYMI: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/05\/obama-administrations-transgender-guidance-schools-read\/\"><em>Here is the Obama Administration&rsquo;s Sweeping Transgender Guidance for Schools: READ IT<\/em><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The new rule concludes that anti-transgender discrimination is <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>-based discrimination. The rule also does not provide a &lsquo;religious freedom&rsquo; exemption:<\/p>\n<p>During a comment period last fall, some groups requested that &ldquo;the rule should exempt faith-based providers from providing particular services, such as services related to gender transition, that are inconsistent with their religious beliefs,&rdquo; the rule says.<\/p>\n<p>However, it continues, federal officials &ldquo;decided against including a blanket religious exemption,&rdquo; instead noting that existing federal laws that protect religious freedom were already sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>And while the new rule&nbsp;does not explicitly ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, such a ban could be not far off:<\/p>\n<p>In a press release Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services said its civil rights office will &ldquo;evaluate complaints that allege <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> discrimination related to an individual&rsquo;s sexual orientation to determine if they involve the sorts of stereotyping that can be addressed under 1557.
