Resource: State of Florida et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services et al.

The plaintiffs allege that enforcing the Affordable Care Act’s nondiscrimination protections related to providing gender-affirming care or coverage for such care violates the Administrative Procedure Act, the Spending Clause, the First Amendment, as well as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Affordable Care Act protects against discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, or sex. People who fall in those categories have historically faced various difficulties accessing health care services and have faced worse health outcomes.
