You Can Help Beat the Next Threat to Trans Health Care
Last week was a hard-won victory for the whole nation: Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John McCain joined Democrats in voting to defeat the most recent Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) repeal attempt — and this appears to be the last repeal effort for the foreseeable future.
For months, people across the country, including so many trans people and our loved ones, called, marched, sat in, and did everything possible to stop this terrible legislation. We saved health insurance coverage for millions, kept protections for people with preexisting conditions, and ensured that people can still access Planned Parenthood’s lifesaving services.
Critically, we avoided the disastrous effects that ACA repeal would have had on trans people. Amid so many attacks on trans people and other marginalized communities, stopping the ACA repeal is truly a testament to the power of resistance.
But we’re not out of the woods yet. Trans people are still facing a very serious threat to health care.
