Is anyone keeping track of all the stuff they’ve gotten done this past week? Between Net Neutrality, flight cancelation policy, non-compete clauses, and this, a lot has happened.
Why would medical care ever be withheld from anyone?! (checks notes) oh because America hates it’s none wealthy and powerful people
Both sides are the same!
To be completely honest I see this comment sarcastically significantly more often than not. I mean I can’t remember the last time I’ve opened a political post and this wasn’t the top comment.
Because it’s a constant reminder.
Democrats aren’t perfect. But when a conservative gets elected, things get shittier.
Shut the fuck up
That’s incredible. Most of your comments are downvoted.
Yeah, being anti genocide on this platform is really unpopular.
But Biden isn’t doing anything!
Wonderful news. It should also be noted that it took Biden almost a whole election cycle to reverse Trump era decisions.
First of all, it’s not like Biden sat down and wrote these himself. Appointees by Biden at the health and human service administration directed these rules be written by civil servants who work at the department. Changes to regulations have to follow the processes laid out in the laws originally passed by congress giving the agency the authority to write that regulation. Usually that involves a long process of research, mandatory waiting periods, comments, legal reviews, votes by administrators, etc. These new rules began to be drafted in January 2022. Here’s all about 600 pages of them. It’s not something like, Biden rolled out of bed this morning and decided to reverse lgbtq discrimination in healthcare finally to help himself in the election. The rule this is replacing/updating for instance had work on it begin in 2015 that didn’t finish until 2020.
If the complex processes for these new regulations aren’t followed then they aren’t drawing their power from any law, and they’ll be struck down by courts in a heartbeat. This happened to a lot of Trump’s incompetent administrators who had a lot of hastily passed or incorrectly passed regulations that didn’t survive legal review.

Do you think Congress (negotiations, etc.) had anything to do with that delay?
Not when it’s not a change that came through Congress.

All things being equal, Presidents usually try to work with Congress first, and then go around them second.
That did not one bit of good for any trans people denied healthcare in the past 3 years, but at least the dignity of the office of president is intact. 🙄 Who knows, with this rule in place trans people might get four whole years of having the legal right to access nondiscriminatory medical care before a Republican gets elected or SCOTUS decides our right to exist is up to the states!
Is it better than nothing? Sure! Am I old enough to remember this song and dance with gay rights up until the early ‘10s and this literal exact thing happening right at the end of the Obama administration? Also yes!! Do not try to sell me on this executive order being bigger and stronger than it is.
Saved it for now so it’d be fresh in voter’s minds … which I kind of understand from a 24 hour new cycle standpoint, but from a humanity standpoint it sucks.
It takes more time to enact legislation than to repeal it. Biden’s barely made a dent in the 111 climate regulations Trump repealed. He single-handedly brought our climate policy back a decade.
Let the materialist needs of the people wait and suffer and die for the end of election cycle “freshness”. US politics straight up suck.
