Washington secures court victory protecting gender-affirming care under the Affordable Care Act

Attorney General Nick Brown and a multistate coalition secured a major victory on Friday protecting gender-affirming care from federal overreach.

The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts struck down a key provision of a Trump administration final rule that would have excluded coverage of certain types of gender-affirming care as essential health benefits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Essential health benefits are subject to the ACA’s financial protections, including limits on out-of-pocket costs.
