AG Ellison, coalition ask court to block Trump Administration’s healthcare discrimination rule
Discriminatory ‘refusal of care’ rule would drastically expand healthcare providers’ rights to deny necessary healthcare to anyone they choose, solely on the basis of their own ‘religious beliefs or moral convictions’
“Healthcare is a human right. Discrimination violates human rights. It’s that simple,” Attorney General Ellison said. “I will not let the Trump Administration let any Minnesotan get sick, suffer, or die because they think your life is worth less than someone else’s.”
