In the very last year of Barack Obama’s presidency, the Department of Health and Human Services made a major change to his signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act. Implemented six years after the ACA became law, the rule change redefined the department’s view of “sex” to include “gender identity,” defined as an internal sense of being “male, female, neither, or a combination of male and female.”
As you might imagine, the rule change—which also included an administrative double-down on a demand that medical professionals participate in abortion—was widely celebrated among many in the media and political class as President Obama rode a wave of accolades on his way out of Washington, D.C. But recently, the Trump administration announced it is reversing that decision, publishing a regulatory proposal that will go into effect after a 60-day waiting period.
