EPPC Scholars Submit Public Comment on Section 1557 Rule
Yesterday, EPPC scholars Roger Severino, Rachel N. Morrison, and Mary Rice Hasson, submitted public comments opposing a proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights that would impose a radical transgender mandate in health care.

As the EPPC scholars explain in their comment ([link removed]) :
“The Proposed Rule would radically remake American healthcare by replacing science-based medicine with ideology-driven mandates. As proposed, the Rule is arbitrary and capricious, exceeds statutory authority, and is unlawful and unconstitutional. The primary proposed changes are unsupported by substantial evidence. The Proposed Rule contradicts long-standing scientific understandings of human biology and thereby endangers public health. The Proposed Rule turns the clock back on girls’ and women’s rights, tramples parental rights, harms children’s interests, dismantles sex-based patient protections, and violates religious freedom and conscience rights of medical professionals, hospitals, and religious institutions. The Proposed Rule inverts our civil rights law and should be withdrawn and abandoned.”

A diverse group of over thirty medical professionals and legal and policy experts also submitted comments opposing HHS’s Proposed Rule.
