California joins almost two dozen states and cities suing over a federal rule allowing businesses and individuals to refuse healthcare services based on their religious beliefs or moral convictions.
The Trump administration was sued Tuesday by almost two dozen states and cities — including California — over a federal rule allowing businesses and individuals to refuse healthcare services based on their religious beliefs or moral convictions.
New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James also sued, along with a group of states and cities that include Pennsylvania, Hawaii and Chicago, claiming residents will be put at risk. She said the new rule will allow ambulance drivers, emergency room doctors and customer service representatives at insurance companies to refuse care in violation of patients’ constitutional rights.
“The federal government is giving healthcare providers free license to openly discriminate and refuse care to patients — a gross misinterpretation of religious freedom that will have devastating consequences on communities throughout the country,” James said in a statement. Roger Severino, director of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights, said the rule provides enforcement tools for “conscience protection laws” that have been on the books for decades.
