Savanna's Insights
Client Alert | 7 min read | 02.03.25
Since his inauguration on January 20, 2025, President Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders (“EOs”). Three of these EOs rescind Biden Administration guidance extending the nondiscrimination protections under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) to discrimination based on gender identity.[1] These protections have had a tumultuous history since Section 1557 was enacted in 2010, with each administration reversing course from the last. The new administration has reverted to the position taken in President Trump’s last presidency – that the protections against discrimination “on the basis of sex” do not apply to gender identity.
