A little background: In June, the Trump Administration took steps to protect life and religious freedom by correcting an Obamacare rule. Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) bans sex discrimination in federally-funded health programs and activities.

It is important that we share our support for these proposed rules with HHS! The deadline for submitting comments is Tuesday, August 13 before midnight ET.
