Missouri and six other GOP-led states filed a lawsuit Wednesday against a new rule aimed at preventing discrimination in healthcare based on one’s sex or gender identity, accusing the Biden administration of governmental overreach.

The states argue the proposed rule distorts the Affordable Care Act to compel doctors and states to perform and prescribe gender-affirming healthcare under threat of losing federal funding and access to federally funded programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s health Insurance Program. The rule was temporary halted by a judge two days before it was to go into effect last week.
