The Biden administration announced a new rule Friday expanding safeguards against potential discrimination of gay and transgender Americans seeking medical care, in a reversal of Trump-era limitations that nixed federal health protections for members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Alright, vote for a dictator that makes their own laws out of thin air then and disregards any courts. Or go after congress to change laws so that new regulations under those laws can be made faster and with less oversight, though that would backfire during republican administrations. Or just keep shouting bad faith arguments to attack a presidential administration you apparently agree with on this issue I guess. Because he very quickly reversed any executive orders he could of Trump’s on this issue. Here’s an order from 2021 on this actual issue.
Reversing actual agency regulations is unfortunately a longer process that is very dependent the specific law, but that was kicked off as soon as his appointees got in place. The new admin did get the regulations changed back in faster time than it took Trump to impose them.
Doing it now for election cycle “freshness” is cynical at best. Absurdity. Like I said, great that it is back to being law, but for those that need care: care takes months of planning, visits, scheduling, more planning. And you can bet your ass that the Republicans will reverse this very fast. You can defend the executive Department of Health changes, I will. I will absolutely not defend the snails pace for political jockeying.

Why is this literally the first alternative?
Because that’s the only real current alternative because of FPTP. You want real change? Start working on STAR voting.
