This is another lie. There’s nothing to “restore.”

No, medical practitioners in the U.S. are not being compelled to provide gender-affirming care, including services related to sex changes, under federal law. The ACA’s anti-discrimination practices hold that providers and insurance companies cannot discriminate against patients seeking gender-affirming care. They do NOT require individual medical practitioners to personally perform procedures, such as sex reassignment surgeries, if it goes against their religious or moral beliefs. These are referred to collectively as “conscience protection laws”, and they’ve been around since the 1970’s.

What he’s likely referring to, is that under the Trump Administration, the HHS Office for Civil Rights expanded these conscience protections through a new Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, issuing rules to allow broader refusals for certain services, including gender-affirming care. However, some aspects of these rules were struck down by courts. The Biden Administration has moved to revise or roll back some of these conscience protections, especially in the context of gender-affirming care, but the fundamental conscience protection laws like the Church, Weldon, and the Coats-Snowe Amendments remain in effect.
