Five federal workers filed a proposed class-action lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration, alleging that a federal health insurance policy excluding gender-affirming care violates federal employment discrimination law. The directive requires carriers in federal and postal employee health programs to exclude certain procedures when used for gender transition. The five anonymous plaintiffs include employees seeking care for themselves and employees seeking coverage for transgender family members. A July report from the Williams Institute, a UCLA School of Law research center, estimated that between 39,400 and 57,800 transgender people receive federal employee health coverage. The new lawsuit challenges the broader policy requiring federal health plans to exclude the treatments.
