Florida Sues Biden Administration After Interference in New Trans Health Care Ruling Real News Now Podcast

- Daily News
The Sunshine State has taken legal action against the Biden administration on Tuesday following the enforcement of a novel rule that prohibits health care institutions from making distinctions on the grounds of 'gender identity' or 'sexual orientation'. This directive came under the banner of the Affordable Care Act, courtesy of HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) on April 26. Notably, this decree forbids the health care sector and insurance providers that benefit from federal funding, from refusing to provide necessary services contingent on a patient's sexual orientation or gender identity.
Florida's legal offensive was spearheaded by Ashley Moody, the state's Republican Attorney General. She voiced her profound concern with the status quo, alleging that the federal authorities, under this new law, are compelling Florida to violate its own laws. This comes especially with regard to those regulations that expressly forbid physicians from carrying out sex-reassignment procedures on minors.
In her address to the public, Moody emphasized the state’s rigorous legal framework aimed at safeguarding children from irreversible gender transition therapies and drugs. She accused the Biden administration and federal officials of circumventing their efforts by enforcing state-funded puberty inhibitions and sex-reassignment surgeries in children.
The bureaucracy in Washington, according to Moody, is trampling on states' rights and autonomy to secure the well-being of their population. She expressed strong disapproval of Biden's method of strong-arming states into acquiescence with federal laws, particularly those that could potentially undermine Florida's own child protection laws.
