NASHVILLE—Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti and Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch secured a nationwide victory Wednesday when a federal court struck down the Biden administration's unlawful attempt to impose gender-identity mandates on healthcare providers and state Medicaid programs through regulations implementing Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. The illegal gender-identity provisions of the rule, which were still on the books until this win, would have forced doctors to perform controversial gender-transition procedures and Tennessee taxpayers to fund them. The Court’s final judgment not only eliminates those provisions, it makes it more difficult for future administrations to revive them.
