Transgender Benefits Lawsuit Tests Scope of ACA Section 1557 Nondiscrimination | Practical Law
In Robinson v. Dignity Health, a district court granted an employer's motion to stay a sex discrimination action brought under Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), pending the US Supreme Court's decision in Gloucester County School Board v. G.G. The Gloucester decision could determine whether sex includes gender identity for purposes of the nondiscrimination provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
